<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 426271, member: 15309"]Sometimes you find a coin that you just find irresistible. This coin is one of those coins for me. It is not the most extravagantly toned or a premium gem. It is a simple MS65 common date Morgan with basically monochromatic toning. The obverse is covered in mint green with lemon yellow highlights. I don't know why, buy I find the toning pattern absolutely captivating. The cheek is very clean and the strike is half decent for an "O" mint Morgan. I purchased this coin last December from Heritage for less than Numismedia Wholesale price.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1884-ONGCMS65139037--7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1884-ONGCMS65139037--8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1884-ONGCMS65139037--9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is in the bottom ten with regards to price paid of my rainbow morgans but is in my top ten favorite toned Morgans.
