Just ran across this neat looking coin.
Is there any background on Aurora Orban?
I did some searches but jut found some coins.

I think generally it was a Roadrunner-ish level toned Morgan collection with fewer Gem+ pieces but some really nice color on some Ms-63-64 coins that weren’t as hot as they are today. I think the original sale was via Heritage march of 2016, and I believe the pedigree started with the NGC holders that the majority of the collection were housed in. I have a really cool 81-S Endroll piece with the pedigree.
Good note @DrewU!
Looks like a number of these sold on Heritage back on March 8, 2016:

Here's another Aurora Orban coin, an 1885-O PCGS MS64:

I want to see a Zoins provenance cause I bet that would represent a cool collection (minus the horrid reverse toned Morgan)!

running like a water color in the rain...."
I'm working on it! I've actually made some calls to PCGS to explore how to get this done.
How about we replace the Morgan with a beautiful Washington quarter
Here's another CAC
Here's another. Seems like there were 3 in a row with the last being the coin in the OP.
