Good lookers....

Figured, its late Saturday, and how better spend the time than to post some pictures of some good looking coins. No questions, no reason, just good looking coins....

Check out the slight toning on the reverse, and miss Liberty with a need for a touch-up on the rouge...

Who's next? Post 'em, if you got 'em.

Here's a friend of mine:

 

Here's a recent acquisition of mine.

Just out of curiosity, what grade would you give it?

(I hope I did the pics right!!)

 

From my eyes (young in the hobby) and from the pics, I would say XF-AU. There looks to be some wear on the high spots, but a looker nonetheless!

 

Yeah, the pics really don't do much justice for my Morgan. I am fairly new at grading Morgans, but I believe it is full BU, just a not-so-good strike. I really need to take pictures instead of using the scanner. Scanning "washes" out the luster.

 

If you have the option of loading the pics on a website, and posting the link, that too can help on the detail offered. Sometimes the weak strike/wear question can get a little murky with the smaller pics. (My opinion)

 

joecoin, I have to do some more investigation into the large cent arena. That is a nice little gem...

 

In my humble opinion I would say the Morgan is in the XF range becuase of the breast feathers on the eagle.

Good looking coin tho

 

Have to see the coin, could be AU or BU, looks cleaned though.

 

XF? You guys are tough. The New Orleans mint is famous for weak strikes. Looks like a high AU or low BU. It does have the weird color of cleaning though. Pics are very tough to grade.

 

I think my avatar is a very nice looking coin but how about this one. A 65 dime showing the schooner "bluenose" in frosted cameo

 

bromac4, not sure what the schooner has to do with the Morgan, but I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone that did not consider it beautiful.

Of course, some of the posters on the forum here might dispute whether it is XF, AU, or BU ;-)

 

HEY!!! I am taking my coins, and going home! (Wait, I am home)



Nice one there bromac4!

 

The schooner has nothing to do with the Morgan, I thought the thread was for good looking coins.

Bill

 

It is, I believe cdcda is having a little fun at our expense!

(Which is completely fine by me - so long as I figure it out while it is still funny!!!)

 

Here is a real beauty.

 

Hey, I think the ugly coin contest was on another thread (or forum).

 

Ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This poor coin has seen 200 years.

 

Sorry, ND, thought you were being sarcastic.

However, if you have any mint state or high grade Draped Bust coins, would love to see those.
