Got my first toned Morgan over the weekend (seller pics). It's in a gold border MS64 PCI slab. [IMG] [IMG]
No doubt, but there's getting a deal and then there's shelling out 5k for a coin that doesn't look right when given more than a cursory glance. I...

I'm a little behind in posting and just took some pics of my latest pickups. Here's a better pic of the 1833 B1 capped bust quarter (only had...
