<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 420175, member: 15309"]No problem leadfoot, but I promise you that this coin is a monster. It is by far the most impressive common date MS64* that I own and I own well over 20 of them. It is also the only one that I paid over $1,000. It is true that rainbow toned Morgans are very common. However, this is not one of the common ones. If you can find another 1883-O with toning of this magnitude for under $1,000, let me know and I will be happy to outbid you. The term monster is certainly applicable to this coin, but I understand that some may not find reverse toned Morgans particularly appealing. However, to describe this coin's toning as average to above average is ludicrous. The toning on the coin is undoubtedly exceptional. Good eye with recognizing Anaconda's photography BTW.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't consider your opinion ragging on my coin, I just tells me that you are not a collector of rainbow toned Morgans. I would guess that if I sold this coin at auction using Anaconda's photos, it would break the $1,000 barrier. I paid more because I love the coin and it called to me. There is very little chance that I could sell this coin for what I paid for it.
