Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1519376, member: 37839"]I think that basically I did what I wanted to do---I set out to buy the 1901o and the American Eagle toner (which is a MS 67 PCGS).  I set my limit and walked away--was willing to pay $400 for both of them, because I thought they were incredibly beautiful.  After rethinking what I wrote on another thread about a rainbow toned coin that Shane was selling on consignment, I will admit I was wrong to say it was insanely overpriced, as beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.  My limit was what I was willing to go, given that I am assembling a personal registry PCGS/NGC slab set of toners that are Morgans, any other dollars, Franklin and Kennedy halves, and some other miscellaneous toned coins in mid to high MS grades.  So far, I have a bunch of them, and have done well with the acquisitions.  Was there a significant premium for the Morgan 1901o?  Yes, it went for twice market, given that a super eye appeal "white coin" would go for about $90-100 in 63, and about $140-160 in 64.  So, I paid double what its market value would have been, had it not been what I consider a work of art.  It is totally subjective, and since I got both coins for under my maximum bid, I have no issues with it.[/QUOTE]
