Toned Morgan dealer ?

There used to be a dealer in expensive Toned Morgans, but I can't remember the name........it was something like "Island Coin". Does anybody remember the exact name, have a link,.....are they still in business ? Thanks.

    Gary, the owner, passed away some time ago at too early an age.

  • Was that the name....."Island Coin" ...... ??? .......and how long ago, as it seems like the site I was thinking about was still online a year or two ago. I could be mistaken. Either way, sorry to hear the sad news.

    Island Coin is correct.

    I remember it still showing in searches in what seemed to be the past year.

    Island Coins it was. Gary was a good guy and I picked up two great pieces from him, including this one on my 18th birthday:
