<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 565647, member: 15309"]Let me guess, the colors on the coin are much more vibrant and when combined with incredible luster, the colors seem to explode off the coin. That is indeed what makes a star coin. You need both color and luster. As a matter of fact, I bet your crescent toned MS64* Morgan probably looks a lot like one of my crescent toned MS64* Morgans. That powder blue color is just amazing with the right luster. Mine has a bigger crescent with more magenta and violet, but yours has the always sought after emerald green. Hope you can get a good photo, here is the photo of mine in the holder for comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1887NGCMS64Star15519-5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Commidaddy, Johhny's coin is a bag toned Morgan Dollar.
