Pick a favorite. and post a great proof dollar. The dollars are the toughest to find nice...Lots of competition it seems.

    Those look nice I need to see them in hand for a definitive answer.

    Barring that, I love Seated.

    Knew this would involve eye candy.
    Seated dollar for me.
    Your Morgan has the 0666 cert number. Great group of coins with that cert start (I think it was High Desert).

    I had a slab cert number with 0666 that was from the Simpson collection.

    Here's a couple that deserve to be in the thread:

    Well, I posted my 76 type 1.5/2 but since you posted a gorgeous type 2/2, I'll have to post my type 1/1 (I can't beat your T$ proofs for quality but I can for scarcity 😉)

    Outstanding additions by @tradedollarnut , who has the finest proof Trades I am aware of @lermish with an outstandingly sharp 76 @Floridafacelifter with an armada of the finest graded Morgans in proof. and @edwardjulio with a truly original and gorgeous 77.

    Here's a couple that deserve to be in the thread:

    Lermish,
    which is rarer of your two proofs T$1's, the 1.5 or the 1.1? I have never seen a 1.5 before but I am a novice so that would not be surprising. Oh, and what grade is the 1.5, it is hard to tell from the photo.

    Beautiful dollars above- I can’t pick a favorite Eldo!
    Here are a few more

    Is this a proof??? If so I have never heard of an 84-CC proof Morgan.

    If accounting for hub combinations and not just dates(the various type 1 and type 2 combos during the transitional years of 75 and 76), then the 76 1/1 is the third rarest proof issue after 1884 and 1885 with estimated mintage of two or three dozen. The 1.5/2 (4 finger) and 2/2 are both extremely scarce but not quite that rare.

    My 1.5/2 is a PR58 and 1/1 is a 55.

    Leaning towards that TD - I think the toning just edges out the Morgan.
    Floridafacelifter, that’s just an insane group of Morgans, amazing.
    That 1794 dollar is simply historic.
    Nice stuff everyone

    Oh lord- another eyecandy thread. Love ‘em all, but hands down, it’s the Seated dollar for me, out of the trio in the OP. Y’all put this poor working-class schmuck to shame. At present I do not own a single proof dollar- not even an Ike! My MS65 Tyoe 3 gold dollar is a tiny bit prooflike, but that doesn’t count.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Lermish,
    would you also have a photo of your 1.1 to post?

    The most recent one I posted with the blue toning is the 1/1.

    This is probably my favorite ultra rarity by a wide margin. If I owned it, you would have to rip it from my cold dead hands.

    The only thing I can contribute to this thread is:

    My thank you to El Dorado for starting it and to everyone who has posted to the thread with photos of serious Eye Candy.

    It gives me some hobby enjoyment out of this late August Saturday. :)

    I'll attempt to participate with a few 1876 PR varieties (as Lermish discussed). TDN's coins are monsters!!! This little league compared with the coins shown.

    PR 64 1876 Type I/I - a very rare coin. I have a 63+ CAM that looks even better but don't have good images at hand. It should have graded as a DCAM.


    PR-65 1876 Type II/II - Eliasberg Coin - This coin is CAM but the image does not show it at all. The coin is quite nice.

    Stunning coins, all. Thanks to everyone who participated in the thread. The big proof dollars never go out of style, and the demand seems to far exceed the supply. Keep em coming.
