[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 4960526, member: 29751"]Why do you take everything so personally? That 1895 Morgan proof is hairlined, it is not fully struck, and the toning is not anything spectacular or knock-out. Why would you (or anyone else) consider it one of the "most celebrated coins in the World"? It can be a highly sought after and genuinely scarce proof (mintage 880), and it can sell for big money ($65,000), but I think saying it is one of the "[I][B]most celebrated coins in the World[/B][/I]" (?) is a bit of overkill and hyperbole. I have never seen it nor heard of it and I've been a collector for 33 years. I do keep up on USA coinage and sales, but I'm not an avid Morgan collector. Can we at least agree that it is more aptly called one of the "[B][I]most celebrated [U]Morgan Dollars[/U] in the World[/I][/B]"? Again, the intent here is not to be combative, but I think we need to open our minds a little to a universe beyond Morgan Dollars.[/QUOTE]
