<p>[QUOTE="Kryptonitecomic, post: 1056865, member: 26784"]I paid $200 for the coin so I believe leadfoot was the closest. Yes the toning pattern is called a catseye and they are much rarer then coins with normal crescents because the coin developed the crescent on one side and then at some point the bag was moved which shifted the coin so that the opposite side came into contact with the bag but the center was still partially coverd by a morgan. It takes many years and just the right circumstances for this pattern to occur but it happens enough that you will usually find a couple of examples in any bag of morgans with toned examples. Personally I find a coin very attractive with this pattern and I was willing to pay full retail at the time to get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could sell this coin today on Ebay for around $250 to $300 with no problem. I posted this example as I didn't want to trick anyone buy posting a coin I got cheap or a coin I paid moon money for....just a nice example at a fair market price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
