    I have been working out of state down south and found these 5 S Morgans in a presentation holder marked Capital Plastics at a fleamarket. Someone thought it was a good idea to put these mint state sharpies in a holder for presentation for some reason, I am glad they did. Cost $175.00 Bucks. Check em out let me know what you think. The others are 1879, 1880, 1881, & 1882-s.

    that's a beautiful set! the holder is cool too. I remember a similar holder sold in the 1960's (not sure if your holder is from that era or not)

    I've seen this same Capital Plastics holder before with the San Fran's. Nice pick-up!

    Thanks - the pics are sufficient. I was hoping you had a nice high grade example there, alas you do not.

    It's not that I don't like it, I like it fine. I was merely hoping you had gotten lucky and had a nice high grade example there. The original pics did not show it well enough to tell, that's why I asked for some others.

    The coin would probably grade 64. But the early S coins are easily found in that grade, there are huge numbers of them. But every now and then a really nice one shows up. By really nice I mean 66 or 67. Like I said, I just hoping you had gotten lucky.

    I think Doug would like this 1880-S even though it is still not the high grade he was referring to!

    Doug,
    I checked out your albums and your coins are stunning...Top shelf all the way through. I would love to know what that gold coin marked, Liberty year 2000 obverse & Peace at the bottom of the Reverse is about. Couldnt take my eyes off it.

    It's not gold. That was one of the final designs submitted by private mints to the US Mint for the small dollar. The Sacky won and that one lost.
