GoldFinger1969 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 That cameo effect on the 2023's is unreal. Super-black. That's what they couldn't do with proofs 100-150 years ago, create that mirrored-black look. Are they striking proofs or other types EVERY year for Modern Morgans -- I thought it was a 1-time thing in 1921 ? What did they do in 2022 ? rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, while the mint could not pump out hundreds of thousands like today it produced some fine examples. Here is a very black and gold proof, not my coin just an example posted on another forum of what the mint could do. And this dmpl is a coin in my collection, lots of handling marks but very nice contrast and I'll bet it had a fantastic black and white look off the press. rrantique and GoldFinger1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post J P M Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2023 I have been trying to find a MS 1891 Morgan for a reasonable price for the last year. Every time I find one it bids out way to high. When I saw this AU58 it looked just as nice as some 62,63 and 64's so for $54 I think it was a good deal.

JPM, I understand that price sensitivity is a personal choice and we all differ. However....I'm wondering how much of a premium you were forced to "pay up" for to get a really nice coin that you liked. Since the coin(s) in question appear to be about $50-$75, paying up wouldn't amount to much in absolute dollars, right ? If we are talking about a $500- $1,000 coin...that's another matter. BTW, nice coin. Edited August 29, 2023 by GoldFinger1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, nice coin. Thanks GoldFinger It is a nice AU58. The 1890 -1895 are the pricier coins in the set. trying to find a Morgan in the price range you posted $50 to $75 is not as easy as it sounds. I am always looking for a MS coin but a 1891 MS 60 to 63 at auction can go from 100 to 300 depending on the coin and the bidders mentality. Finding a good looking reasonable priced coin all ready in a $50 holder is what I am always looking for. As for Pay up the last 3 coins will be the killers 1893,94 and 95 can be a bit high even at G4. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
