    No offense, but I'd swear that I see the Taco Bell napkin pattern on that Morgan third from the top.

    Whether you know it or not, you are seeing an original bag toned Morgan dollar with a textile pattern. If your PM function had been enabled, I would have replied that way, instead.

    That's called textile toning, and is from mint bags, not Taco Bell napkins.

    Gary was a great guy - I shared tables with him at several mid-west shows and once a Baltimore - He was straight forward and honest, and truly enjoyed toned coins - I have a number coins that I purchased from him and I'll look for some of the nicer ones to post.

    He set up the Toned Coin Collectors Society (TCCS) website for us and was a true gentleman (although he did go by Uncle Guido, and his favorite line was from the Godfather "Leave the Gun, take the Cannolli")

    He will be missed.

    I always loved browsing that site, if it were not for my PM addiction I would have bought many of his coins.
