Most of my collection consists of toned coins, but every once in a while I run across a untoned coin that really catches my eye. This is an 1880-S Morgan Dollar MS65* with a prooflike obverse and a frosty reverse. I bought this coin last year on E-Bay because I thought that it was really cool even though I don't particularly like PL or DMPL Morgans.

If anyone else has one of these, please post them so I can see them. Thanks!

Pretty '80-S, Lehigh. :applause:

 

I like PL and DMPL material, but rarely buy it. Given your known Jones though, here's one for you... ;)

OMG, a monster toned prooflike gem Battle Creek. If this was a horse race, your coin would be Big Brown. I can't even imagine how pretty that coin is in person, I know those photos just don't do it justice.

Wow,

 

That is pretty nice. I just checked the auction archives at Heritage and prooflike gold dollars are surprisingly affordable with respect to their population. It appears that they don't drive much of a premium over the non-prooflike issues. Do people not collect prooflike gold the way they do with prooflike Morgans?

Irvin,

 

I am dying to know. Did you have it graded and if so, what was the result?

Paul,

 

I have not sent this coin in as 90% of my Morgans are raw. I seriously think the coin will go 67, on a good day 68. Maybe some day. (shrug)

 

BTW Morgan Man that is a beauty. (thumbs u

Aw c'mon! Send it in to see what you get, then crack it out if you want. I voted in 68, so why not do it again.
