Photos? PHOTOS!?!? I'm 68! Do you realize how often I misplace my phone??? At least 10 times a day.

 

I left my phone on the mountain (on purpose) during the fall after getting a call from from someone wondering where I was, while I was elk hunting. I am a little older than you and wonder sometimes if the excuse of forgetting has more to do with necessity than it does age.  🤔 Have a great beginning to your 69th year.

...theres a rumor that if u have the number 1 registry set they let u live longer??....

I heard a similar rumor but longevity was dependent upon the alloy used in the minting process of the set. ?

I left here awhile back, along with some others, because of some very rash, (pun intended) political unrest. 
I would just like to voice this one thing. I lurked ( to use A Ricky opinion) on and off to the site for quite some time and saw that the forums had regathered a semblance of unity when it came to sharing and grading of coins. (Why we are here). There never has been a point of SITE  bias and all are left FREE to their opinion on a coin being observed or a precedent that was possibly being stretched and this is why I wanted to once again participate as much as an old coal miner could. I have learned from all of you, even those that have recently passed and am very grateful.

Having read y’all’s responses to the op’s question, “what-impact would it have on you and the coin collecting hobby at large?” I would say the underlying, unsaid fact is only evident in the dissension. Division from and separation from what y’all are excellent at, has got to be the real answer.

I can only say this, your politics,  your coin collections, your savings, your retirements your lives and families are a mere ripple in the growing pond of bigger fish wanting the whole pond. 

 Enjoy what you have built,  for there is no work or devising in the grave, the place we all end up.

Setting aside for a moment my deeply-held views against counterfeits and copies, by whatever name known 🤣 I nevertheless would have no problem accepting at face value in change the lovely Walker look-alike as exhibited in the lower right hand of the trifecta, yes, even absent a view of the reverse, sight-unseen, solely on the basis of the declaration, "Silver Round," as set forth on the bottom of the obverse. Nice 

counterfeiting is a large piece of why the eagle cries. The coin is about the size of a quarter.

How prevalent is dipping to make the coins more blast-white ?

I would venture a guess that to assume the mind set of today, was even a semblance of some protocols of past, that could be understood by those looking through digital microscopes to find a chip that looks like a clash that resembles a letter on the wrong end of the opposite side, can make you rich. 👍

With texting, the proliferation of sound bites and Twitter, it is reassuring to see a number of collectors, mostly senior veterans who are sticklers for propriety, providing photo credits, footnotes, references and cross-references. That is professionalism at its finest.

By the same token the question is only relevant in seeking the professionalism professed ? 
 

 I am a byproduct of only my own resources and profess to be no more than that. 

I appreciate this point of order.

The OP’s request was to post Your Morgan’s is why with the Stacks And Bowers credit I asked if it was yours.

My post was taken today with the IPad while the wife was making her world famous apple Jack D bbq sauce for the racks of ribs on the same counter.  
Have a good night.

     I only post photos of coins that I own.  I acquired the 1894 Morgan dollar at a 2017 Stacks Bowers auction.  You can see photos and descriptions of my NGC and PCGS certified coins on the NGC Registry at Sandon's Competitive Sets | NGC (ngccoin.com).

Perfect, it just appears to be an enhanced photo, maybe you could share an “at hand” photo just for the sharing factor.?

   Although there aren't any Morgan dollar issues that can legitimately called "rare", the 1894 is certainly one of the scarcer ones. PCGS graded this one AU 55.

Is this coin part of your collection, or a borrowed photo?
