I see Northern Nevada Coin at the Las Vegas Coin shows and he has some amazing dollars! Take a look at this one! Considerably out of my price range, but it's nice to dream! LOL!

Wow. And that price tag!
what a beauty, i like
I agree, NNC does have some nice Morgans. That is a nice one for sure. 200K
That’s a beauty — That price tag is insane though!!

Beautiful coin with obverse toning and CAC, but the originality muted the luster. Personally I would rather a lower grade B&W blazer or DMPL, for a lower price.
Very impressive & beautiful 😍

I'm not trying to be a hater here and the coin is certainly nice, but in my experience (mostly non-Morgan dollar experience) it takes quite a bit of flashy luster to earn the MS68 grade at PCGS. Yet the image of this coin appears to be a bit mute and the TrueView also does not show it as being a luster-bomb. It also has a partial fingerprint above the bonnet and into IBUS of PLURIBUS. I guess in-hand it must present quite different, but the images to me don't say MS68.

Meh, not impressed and especially dislike the terminal toning.

CAC agrees with the grade even if some members here are posting differently.

I remember that coin, sold at GC in 2020 as part of an old holder collection.

i don't mind the toning, its a little dull though and there are some light scuffs.
Overall a nice coin....hey you put stuff out there and it will be nitpicked.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
72k plus juice in 2020
To the naysayers: But it stickered. Twice.
$200k is a strong asking price when (1) guide value is $80k (with a real sale of $49,000 from several years ago from the Jack Lee coin before plus grading) and (2) the coin is not a top pop as there is one finer (Jack Lee 68 is now the 68+ coin).
That said, the Jack Lee coin has better luster but is also pretty ugly with uneven toning on the obverse.

The Jack Lee collection was incredible! Absolute Monsters
Same price I paid for my house
That looks like a far better investment to me.
I’ll give them credit, it is a pretty coin and lacks the heavy bag marks that are common with CC dollars.
That is amazing.

Lovely coin, but I’m not a fan of top pop coins of something that is not rare.
