The owner posted earlier that it grades MS 65 BN (NGC). Nice coin!
You're right; well said.
I like Morgans and toned Morgans but where do you draw the line? When does it simply become a status symbol to those who can afford them, like a...
Krypto, I appreciate the background info.
http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1145&Lot_No=4205&Lot_Id_No=34005 I was surprised when bidding on this hit $1,840 (incl. BP);...
If you're unfamiliar with it, I would recommend Heritage Auctions: http://coins.ha.com/c/index.z Plenty of listings, competitive bidding and...
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Ultra High Relief Pattern obverse. If we can't count patterns, the Walker obverse.
I've certainly noticed this, particularly in the pops that Heritage publishes in its listings. I have to admit, though this might sound silly, I...
I thought it was a trick question ("Does it look like a solid 65 RB?") and that you were going to surprise us with an unexpected answer!...
That's a beauty. It's stickered; does it look solid 65 RB? No, it looks 66 RB to me: virtually mark-free except for a few dings on Liberty's crown...

Enjoyed the story and ditto everyone else's congrats! A beauty I hope you enjoy for a long time.
1), they're all fun to look at; keep 'em coming. 2) you'll be posting higher grades and beautifully toned Morgans someday for others to enjoy!
I definitely see what you're seeing on the rev.: the slightly darker, duller spots on the high points of the leaves. I wouldn't consider this...
Good calls, grilledporkchop and jerseycat, as far as coming closest to the slabs. The 1st one's a 64, 2nd is a 66 but clearly a low-end one, would...
Funny how tastes differ. While I like the first one a lot—very few marks and a good strike, certainly an attractive coin—I much prefer the color...
I thought I'd throw in one more (last one) to give perspective to the first two. Will post the slabs later today. Exhibit C (also MS): [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks for the opinions. I'll let this go until tomorrow to see if there might be a few more.
Yes.
I'm a little confused about this (and glad to know there are a few Heritage employees contributing to this thread). I've participated several...
