  This is the only NICE Morgan in my possession

  That is actually my favorite way for a Morgan to look. I do not currently own one, but if I was to seek out one Morgan for my collection she would be nice and clean like that one.

  Thanks for sharing!

  It is better to have one really nice coin than lots of them in so-so condition.

  One of the most gallant stands of courage and undying self-sacrifice which have come down through the pages of history is the defense of the Alamo, which is one of the priceless heritages of Texans. It was the battle-cry of "Remember the Alamo" that later spurred on the forces of Sam Houston at San Jacinto.

  Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

  @JBK the most beautiful coin in my collection was featured the very day she arrived ...... with South Maui lava rocky shore in the background.
  It was a windy afternoon as you could see some white caps coming in to shore and my Mom told me NOT to loose the coin in such conditions for "silly" picture taking session but I had to

  B. Traven on Gold:

  From The Treasure of the Sierra Madre by B. Traven, published in 1935.

  Anyway, gold is a very devilish sort of a thing, believe me, boys. In the first place, it changes your character entirely. When you have it your soul is no longer the same as it was before. No getting away from that.

  You may have so much piled up that you can't carry it away; but, bet your blessed paradise, the more you have, the more you want to add, to make it just that much more.

  Men, Christians and Jews alike, are so greedy or brave where gold is at stake that, regardless how many human beings it may cost, as long as the gold itself does not give out and disappear, they will risk life, health, and mind, and face every danger and risk conceivable, to get hold of the precious metal.

  Not dirty, baby. No, not dirty. Only I know whom I am sitting here with by the fire and what sort of ideas even supposedly decent people can get into their heads when gold is at stake.

  The gold worn around the finger of an elegant lady or as a crown on the head of a king was more often than not passed through hands of creatures who would make that king or elegant lady shudder.

  There is little doubt that gold is oftener bathed in human blood than in hot suds. A noble king who wished to show his high-mindedness could do no better than have his crown made of iron.

  Gold is for thieves and swindlers. For this reason they own most of it. The rest is owned by those who do not care where the gold comes from or in what sort of hands it has been.
