  1. I'm sure glad you made the toning comment Jom. I love toned coins as much as anybody. I don't know if I'm weird or if anyone else feels this way, but when it comes to high grade examples, I'd rather have a white example. I just believe that with all the details that a MS67 or 68 possess, it shouldn't be concealed. That's all the eye appeal I need :)

     

  2. Picked up this GSA Morgan today at the Heritage FUN show. I paid a little more than I wanted to, but it's one of the nicer 1880-cc Morgans still in the GSA holder that I've come across in the past year or so. And if history is any guide, Heritage's photos aren't doing justice to it's luster. I can't wait to get it in hand to see if it's a certain VAM that I think it is

  3. Thanks Filthyhoard... I bought it without really checking the design that close. When I got it, I was really "wowed". Thanks for the advice on grading.... Yeah, I will probably just keep it tucked away for now.... I am hoping with all the $ I am investing in coins of various designs and descriptions, that some day I will be able to parcel them off for retirement... since social security is likely to provide me as much money as the tooth fairy the way it's looking.....

     

    Mintage is supposed to be one of the lowest modern gold commems to date.
