<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 26751331, member: 151874"]I visited the coin shop today to stop by and drop off some delicious food as a first small gesture of thanking him for having sold me the steel cent error coin I recently posted. When asked if they he liked cheese steaks before, both he and his helper said yes, so I asked him yesterday what they liked on them and brought them fresh and hot for lunch today.

Those were some <i>very</i> nice coins in flips awaiting sending. Amongst them was a '55 DDO, a few '09-S VDB's, one each proof Barber and Seated quarters, a Charlotte quarter eagle, a bunch of other goodies, and... the '78 Morgan that I was eyeing up the last time I was there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, as you might have guessed from the title here, he was kind enough to offer to sell it to me today so I gladly bought it. This is probably the nicest looking '78 Morgan I've seen so far, and a lot of it is because of this beautiful toning. I've got a few toners, but this one takes the cake! I usually stick to blast white to mottled silver looking coins when it comes to filling out my Morgan albums, but I'm definitely coming around on toners lately and this one sure is pretty. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the jittery gif below, it's only my first time of making one.
