    WOW, those are some sweet toners.

    I absolutely love the end-roll toned 1890-O

    I like that coin too, very nice. Crash, what crash? I agree though, I haven't slowed down very much. Any one else?

    When a man with $78,000,000 loses $12,000,000 has anything really changed for him in terms of his lifestyle?


    Unfortunately I am not in that category. My Coin buying took a downturn several years ago. Now it is near the 1/2% level. image

    I'm not into toners, but that first one is just a knockout. Well done!

    Do you own your new avatar? That coin was part of a group of about 50 beautifully toned 78-cc Morgans from an original bag that were auctioned off on ebay around 7 years ago. Very, very nice! image

    It might be more like $78m to $48m, and his/her former salary might have gone from $10m a year to nothing, so yes a lot has changed and if he/she was a coin collector, odds are they will be cutting way back.

    There are also millions of average folks that saw their accounts go from $78,000 to $48,000 or from $7,800 to $4,800. It hurts, and for some it means they can not retire, or may have to move to the trailer park to retire. It is real pain and felt by millions in the middle class, not just the super rich. Those already retired with a pension, might worry if their pensions payouts will be cut because most pension funds invest heavily in the stock market.

    That said, retail therapy is often a way to go, especially in small doses.

    No...it looks like a nice coin....PCGS accidentally deleted my avatar after upload day so I just grabbed on for the time being image
  • The 1890-o is a knockout and probably the finest 1890-o I can remember seeing. FWIW the reverse-forward adds to the appeal, too.
