Your 1875 S Seated Dime is a real beauty Bedford! Not only do I totally feast on the toning, but the Seated Liberty series are my most favorite coins. Even though the cleaning has left the coin rather raw looking, the toning really sets it off! And you say that you have many others with similar toning? Wow!!! I'm green with envy!
I had a dealer chew up my ear one year at FUN about how he handled this coin and sold it for such and such to the current owner, blah, blah... But the coin was on display so I made a point to go check it out and it is really unique for sure. The toning floats within the booming luster in what seems like an inch deep bandwidth. Almost like a hologram. A total hypnotizer! Thanks for bringing it up again Lehigh.
that coin screams AT. seeing the seller of the coin. i know it is. i hope you didn't pay to much for it.
Hi thumper, I am not trying to be the bearer of bad news, but if you didn't already know, this Morgan is artificially toned. Just thought you should be made aware of that.
Don't be envious! Buy it! I figure Bedford can't post his auction here, so I will. http://www.ebay.com/itm/300860972051?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 http://www.ebay.com/itm/300860970480?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2648
