<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 771881, member: 15309&quot;]You came to the right place my friend.&nbsp; I can answer all of your questions.&nbsp; Let&#039;s start with why those three Morgans sold for a huge premium.&nbsp; As the owner of those coins, I can tell you that the premium is well deserved.&nbsp; I consider them three of the most beautiful coins in my collection.&nbsp; Here are Heritages photos compared to those of Anaconda&#039;s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollar%20Journey%201881-S/GreatFallsLot5441Auction430copy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Great Falls Collection of Morgan Dollars is similar to the Battle Creek Hoard in that most of the coins have spectacular toning and the collection is named after it&#039;s geographical origin.&nbsp; However, I don&#039;t know where that is since there are several Great Falls in the United States.&nbsp; One key difference is that the entire Battle Creek collection was pulled from sealed mint bags. The story behind the Great Falls collection is that the collector hand picked examples with exceptional eye appeal and the collection is comprised of EOR toners &amp; brilliant examples in addition to the bag toners.&nbsp; One of my long term collection goals is to reassemble the entire Great Falls Collection.&nbsp; Currently I own 15 coins.&nbsp; Here is a photograph of the collection which is made up of both original photos as well as photos taken by Brandon Kelley of Polaris Numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/Morgan%20Dollar%20Great%20Falls%20Collection/GreatFallsCollection.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you would like to see more of the Great Falls Collection coins, please visit the reference page of Heritage&#039;s website.&nbsp; Here is the link.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?N=51+790+231+4294962980+4294962805#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?N=51+790+231+4294962980+4294962805#" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?N=51+790+231+4294962980+4294962805#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago, I created an NGC signature registry set that was a competition between the Great Falls Collection and the Battle Creek Collection in a game of basketball.&nbsp; To read more about it, please visit my link to my signature set.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/ViewPersonalCollection.aspx?UserCollectionID=1436" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/ViewPersonalCollection.aspx?UserCollectionID=1436" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/sigset/1436/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
