This might be the most foolish post I have ever read on any coin forum, EVER!
Thanks for all the kudos guys, but I really was trying to start an argument with somebody, other than Doug that is, LOL!
I know that I might infuriate the purists with this thread by challenging one of the widely accepted maxims of numismatics that there is no price...
I am not so sure that the price you got on E-Bay was related to the toning. Your photo makes the cheek on that Morgan look very, very clean. I...
What happened to your Coin Photography business? I have seen some of your most recent photos and they have improved to the point where that idea...

Can you provide a link to your auction listing so that we can see how you presented the coin? Personally, I think that negging someone over a $9...
It occurs to me that over the years I have never owned a PCGS Doily or an NGC generation 1 black slab. I have owned a bunch of 1st generation...
