[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1172037, member: 26030"]Thanks Oval! Actually the 1878 I have in hand ... and I LOVE it ... it's by far my favorite Morgan in my collection. The 1879 and 1880 will be here tomorrow I think, so I will let you know on those. You are right though, the 1878 is less blue around the edge in hand (but only slightly). The color in the seller's photo was so close to the coin in hand that I never re-photographed it. It's a [U]STUNNING[/U] coin (to my eye at least!) and shows color in [U]any light[/U] and at [U]any angle[/U]. I think this is rare among toned coins as most seem to require a special viewing angle or lighting condition to show their color. Even right now, in my somewhat dark office under soft 30W lamp light, I have the coin propped up next to my computer monitor, and the blue color around the edge is very striking and visible -- and the entire coin has a soft golden color. The reverse is so golden that it almost looks like a gold coin. This coin is eye-candy to me. I will never sell this one![/QUOTE]
