It's simply, "Mega Morgan Monday!". Post yours also....

My apologies all. I missed the word Morgan. I just posted large size coins.

No big deal. I did something similar just last week.

 

Idhair, that's a fine example of a tough year and mint. That's a shame. I don't see damage and it's definitely a AU/UNC slider. I'd crack that baby out and resubmit!

 

Best I can do!

 

I like your humor..

 

Mega Morgans... lets see.... I'll limit it to 3...

 

Ouch!

 

I was happy. I paid $300 for it and it brought $625 at auction.

 

Gotta start somewhere. It's close. lol!

 

1879 O is a lot tougher date in that condition than advertised. Well done!

 

So Pickin, you are one of those closet toner guys. I never knew! Just kidding. I like a nicely toned Morgan, but some of them are not nice. Yours posted are. However, it's crazy how much the general collecting public will pay insane premiums for toned coins. Way over listed market values. Different strokes for different folks. I have purchased nicely toned coins but won't pay those premiums that seem to have become the norm.

 

Most original and natural toning is pleasant to the eye. Thanks, Barney!

 

What's the Lincoln Highway Hoard?

 

Toner I found priced like an average white example.



Found this in a average silver dollar bin!

Morgan dollars prized by numismatists
Little did the travelers know that the quaint little roadside house they passed by was hiding a fortune. Thousands of silver coins were found in this dwelling in the Pennsylvania countryside. The chest contained more than 8,000 Morgan dollars. Nicknamed the Lincoln Highway Hoard because of its proximity to the motorway, the Lincoln Highway Hoard was certified by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®).
The haul contained some superb coins. Some are of rare dates to the delight of many numismatists. Other Morgan dollars never circulated and came directly from workshops of the US Treasury. This is the reason why most of the coins from this treasure are in splendid condition and have kept their original shine. Some of the silver coins even have an additional visual appeal with an exceptional rainbow patina. They are highly prized by collectors.

This important discovery ranks the Lincoln highway treasure amongst the most prestigious Morgan dollar treasures in the United States.
