The obverse is toned in a rainbow crescent of peach, lavender, baby blue, lemon yellow, magenta, emerald green, another group of yellow, magenta, and green yielding to deep violet at the rim. The reverse is just as impressively toned in a most unusual fashion. Luscious lavender dominates the top and an incredible rainbow swatch similar to the colors on the obverse exists on the right.</li> <li><b>1881-S MS65</b>:&nbsp; A cornucopia of color on the obverse displays: emerald green, bright gold, magenta, royal blue, grape purple, and deep violet. The reverse is brilliant</li> <li><b>1881-S MS65</b>:&nbsp; The obverse of this powerfully toned coin boasts intermingled lime green, magenta, violet, steel blue, and touches of orange.&nbsp; The reverse of this PCGS graded gem is virtually untoned save a small patch of orange at 11 o&#039;clock.</li> <li><b>1885 MS65</b>:&nbsp; This coin is pleasingly toned on both sides with green,&nbsp; blue-violet, and orange.</li> <li><b>1887 MS63</b>:&nbsp; What the surfaces of this coin lack, the toning more than compensates. Deep gold, lavender, light blue, yellow, magenta, emerald green, and violet cover the obverse while the reverse shows a shallow crescent of blue and gold.</li> <li><b>1887 MS63</b>:&nbsp; An extraordinary crescent toned Morgan. Concentric thin bands of yellow, sky blue, gold, magenta, royal blue, yield to a larger crescent of vivid intermingled emerald green and violet. A most impressive common grade coin.</li> <li><b>1887 MS65</b>:&nbsp; Stunning powder blue and lemon yellow envelop the obverse along with some orange gold, magenta, and violet.&nbsp; Breathtaking textile toning covers lady liberty&#039;s cheek of this superbly lustrous gem.&nbsp; The reverse also displays a small patch of rainbow toning.</li> <li><b>1899-O MS65</b>:&nbsp; A very pretty pattern of blue, orange-brown, and violet grace the obverse while the reverse is brilliant.</li> </ol> <p style="text-align: left">Alright guys lets have some fun.&nbsp; We need at least 10 guesses before I will reveal the answer this time.&nbsp; I know we have some Morgan collectors so let&#039;s hear your opinion.&nbsp; Which 2 deserve the star?</p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
