    Holy hell those are nice! Where on earth do you keep finding these gems? I would love to see your entire collection in hand. It probably be even better with an altered state of mind

    That is a hard decision on these but perhaps the mirrors on Scrunchie gives it a tad of an advantage... But then the awesome textile on Stars And Stripes... But then the mirrors on The Christmas Tree... But then the beautiful colors on Mother Nature, Chili Pepper, and the Rose... But then the 3D effect of the bowl luster in The Christmas Wreath... But then the amazing blasting luster of Zig Zag....
    You know what you are right Lakesammman! :)

    All of these are from a few years ago CommemKing picked up one at a time and over time from different sources... Some have history and others the first time I had ever seen them...

    All are beautiful as always . Great names too.

    If I had to sell just one of the group, I can't pick one, they're all outstanding!

    After looking up and down the list many times I once narrowed it down to Scrunchie and Zig Zag. Then I looked at them again!

    I'd love to see these in hand and even then doubt I could come up with one to sell.

    In the past, I've downloaded some pics of your collection and remember the unbelievable Indian Head cents you have.

    I'm not that much of a fan of textile toning so my favorite is easy to determine. The one you named "Mother Nature" is clean, banded and multicolored.

    That's a winning combo in my opinion.

    Great finds AB.

    Fantastic toners and Morgan's aren't really my bag (pun intended) , but I think I could make an exception with these.

    I'd probably need a change of clothes (most in the pants area) after seeing Christmas Tree in person. The 1882-S is my favorite MS date in the series since so many of them come with that 3-D "bowl" luster. Add killer toning to that and you have a sure winner! All are great coins for your collection.

    I have yet to see the self-professed lab experts replicate this kind of toning that would convince us that it's not AT.

    @AuroraBorealis...Your colorful Morgan collection is amazing and incredibly consistent... I am always amazed at the coins you find to add to your collection.... Even when I lived in the PNW and went to coin shows, I do not recall seeing Morgans comparable to yours. I imagine you would not need Christmas lights at your house, just put the coins out and they would give the glow to a room... Cheers, RickO

    Agreed. I've been waiting almost 20 years for someone, anyone, to post those replicates, and still nothing but the sound of crickets. Proper elevation chromatics, color progression, textile patterns, pull away and blending of the colors? Nope. Not even close to the beautiful, natural pieces that AB posted above.
