    Combine that color with the MS68 grade and, yep, this one is a MOOSE.

    Maybe not the moose, but certainly a moose.

    If we add this, what would be the plural of Moose?

    There's 2 mooses loose in the hoose.



    aside that I'm trying to pic apart a MS68 Monster Morgan dollar, what are those specks on the cheek and jaw area?

    I think toning breaks - there's a few toning breaks, but they are minimal and definately not lines or marks - coin is pretty darn clean (except for the color) - (I think there is a small mark on the coin at the truncation of the neck - guess that's why it's not an MS69 image )

    Nice! I really like that one, it is one of the very nicest 1881-S Morgans I've seen.

    Is that the coin that PCGS wouldn't upgrade for years, even though it obviously deserved to be called MS68?

    I remember when Ron showed my that coin shortly after he bought it- it's a coin that deserves it's own showcaseimage.
