Welcome to the boards Hugh. That PF69 Morgan is beautiful!!! The 1850 is equally as impressive and it does look like it came from the recent HA auction of Newman's coins.
Yes, think it was . Im traveling and will confirm later. I bought 7 cool coins in Chicago recently. Ill post another. Cheers, Hugh
this is a new area of collecting for me. It was love at first sight! May have over paid, however its a hold! cheers, Hugh Stiel

1845 $1 PR67 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. Two different varieties of 1845 proof dollars are known, and the Greensboro Collection coin is easily the finest of either variety. In fact, David Akers considered it the finest proof Seated dollar from the entire decade. This incredible proof is pedigreed to the John Jay Pittman Collection, where it was part of Pittman's "Complete 1845 Proof Set in Original Case." In his discussion of this coin, David Akers wrote:

Thanks JP , sorry about the large post. My first post. It will be down hill from this point. I HAVE ENJOYED READING THE POST FOR A WHILE. HAVE LEARN SOME GOOD STUFF TOO
OMG, this is beautiful! Where did you find a Rays Seated Proof?? I can only imagine how many stacks this set you back....
Great coin! You probably already have higher resolution photos, but just in case, NGC has some nice pic, just the color balance if off a bit. Would be easy to fix: http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/index.aspx?CertNumber=1898957-054
Lovely SL's! I just bought my first one. 1870 P AU w/ gorgeous toning. I posted it a a couple pages back. Love those old silver quarters.
I BOUGHT THIS 1842 0 $2.5 on a quiet (almost dead) Sunday NIGHT on teletrade (had not been there for a year prior)t felt like I was the only one online! The picture Was horrible but I had to do it. The coin is really nice except for Smal l scratch under the chin. Reverse is perfect=full]3037
