Harryj, that is a great looking Morgan. The fields look pretty decent. The color is really attractive and brings out the eagle, IMO.
Thanks for the grading and the comments. I agree that the coin has very nice eye appeal -- that is what attracted me to it in the first place. I...
Borgovan, Your fourth picture, of the obverse with cobalt blue toning, is really stunning. I can really appreciate your comment about a coin...
What i cannot understand is even with the word Counterfeit? in the heading, and with the discussion in the text, underlined even, that this is an...
Thanks, all. The person I got it from had it VG8, which was what I thought it was. John
Let me know what you would grade this Barber half. Thanks. John

I spent a couple of days at the Houston Money Show this weekend, and was amazed at the volume of toned Morgans and the frequently tremendous...
Agree with all. NGC first. PCGS second. But would you pay a premium for NGC over PCGS for the same grade, or is it too close to call?
Beautiful coins. What a find to see such nice coins with such beautiful toning. You've really got a great set there. Enjoy. John
