rbrown4 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 (edited) Silver. Got it off Ebay for a very reasonable price, just kept watching and waiting. Irvin, yes as far as I know it is the first US "coin" to depict trains in the design. Rey Edited November 2, 2007 by rbrown4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robec1347 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 After promising Sy (SkyMan) not to ever split up these matched toned obverse and toned reverse pair of Tequila Sunrise Morgans, I was able to steal them from his incredible Battle Creek hoard. I'll bet he misses them already. I'm proud to have them as part of my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey I couldn't agree more...looks like a Jimmy Buffet song...Tequilla Sunrise I thought the Eagles sang Tequila Sunrise. And, yes, I like the 2nd '85 Morgan with that Key West sunset.

EZ_E Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 In case you didn't notice it's a double profile. Cool. I didn't notice that but it is so obvious now. Is that from doubled dies or machine doubling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMan Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Bob, I'm glad you like those coins. Obviously I think very highly of them or I wouldn't have bought them in the first place. I'm glad you're giving them a good home. Shane, nice Morgan, and that Kennedy looks to have some distinct cameo contrast. Ibuyandsell, sweet looking '66 DDO Kennedy!

ibyandsellsmith Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 It is a doubled die, in an NGC holder. Sorry I'll post a picture of the whole thing as soon as my battery charges, man I'm so excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpm9ball Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) In case you didn't notice it's a double profile. Let me guess..............is it a 1966SMS? Also, check the eye, ear, IGWT and the designer initials for doubling. Chris Edited November 6, 2007 by cpm9ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
