Could this be real? I heard these PCI cases cause this toning? Any insight appreciated..

Those old PCI holders do indeed cause toning and more so on silver eagles. That certainly could be toning from the holder but most of the PCI holder toning that I have seen has had much tighter bands and stayed closer to the rims. The storage environment and history could play a big role too.

Nice 1807 CBH, Lee.

 

My lap top crashed and now i'm

using an iPad2 and have not figured

out how to capture images or be able

to post them.

 

I picked up a few Seated Halves in

Beverly Hills HA Auction, and am very

pleased with those. I think I posted my

1891 proof Half - which only leaves the

Morgan to complete that set. I also picked

up a very nice 1847 Seated Half in a PCGS

AU 58 holder - which, I have always wanted

A 100 yr old anniversary coin for my birth year.

EDIT to add:

I think it'd be pretty interesting to get a Mint

Set collection for that date. Nothing super rare

comes to mind - dated 1847.....

 

I also picked up some CC Morgans for my

budding CC collection ! Nothing very high end,

just nice coins: 78-cc in a ms 63 old rattler;

80/79-cc Rev of 78 in a 63+.; and a pair of

82-cc Morgans, one in a 65 OGH and the other

in a DMPL - MS 64 . I liked both so much, I

couldn't decide ... So I got both.

 

I was also struck by a beautifully original toned

1879-S in an NGC 63 fatty holder. It's not as

wildly toned as so many I have seen, but just

the right amount of " crustiness " in toning;

Deep cobalt blues and plums with the centrals

blazing golden white with screaming luster.

Not an expensive coin, but something to admire

for many years to come. It sort of matches the

1885 Morgan I got last month - so I am pleased

I noticed it.

 

Well, I have bent your "ear" long enough...

 

Happy Hunting Everyone !!!

 

Mike

that's a sweet 1807 leeg, here is mine I got in the mail today, just a couple years younger, thought it was a die marriage I didn't have, but alas I was wrong!

I added these two to my short set of Walkers last month but just got around to trying to image them. I am now needing only the 35d and s to complete the short set. It has been a long struggle to locate and then be able to afford these last few coins. I will add the grades later just for fun :)
