The color is gorgeous, and the surfaces are very clean (i.e. it is not egregiously color bumped). I like it a lot.
hypnotizingly beautiful, feel like howling like a wolf for some odd reason
Yes, that is pretty amazing.

The best I have ever seen, gorgeous!
I was expecting a pretty coin when I opened this thread. As I scrolled, my mind went, “oh... damn”
Yet another opportunity to be glad for the one I have, but know there is something a weeee bit nicer out there.

Wow ...
that's a heck of a fishscale!
Looks all the way worthy too

And yes, it really does look like that in hand. It’s gorgeous.
That coin has been remarkably preserved. Truly deserving of the grade... such detail and clean fields. Cheers, RickO
It's the "target" effect.
Rotate it and you could hypnotize someone.

That's a good one.

What a gorgeous coin. Wow!

I've never really been in love with that oil slick toning look, and the obverse is a bit dark for my taste, as well. I guess I could always crack and dip it...
awesome !

Honestly, it isn’t worth the $10,000 + the premium on those tiny coins. You can hardly see them so what are you paying for? It looks nice blown up in those pics but I bet you’d be disappointed seeing it in hand without your 10x glass.

I have to say that it is interesting, but not to my taste. The spiral effect with cartoonish colors. Reminds me of the AT Morgan that the OP enjoys. Sorry.

QC, not AT
Given that this is straight graded, I wonder if my Morgan has a better chance now!
Good to know. It would be great to see the Registry Set.
