Silver Dollar-Morgan
Annals At Phoenix Collection. Sensational eye-appeal earns the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award right off the bat for a Morgan dollar generally considered rather common, but not so with such astounding color. Clearly extracted from album placement after decades of toning, both sides display concentric Crayola colors that almost defy description. Beginning at the obverse rim, crimson-magenta quickly evolves into chartreuse, yellow, sea-green, turquoise-blue and violet-grey toning. Reverse colors differ to surprising degree, beginning with deep ocean-blue, midnight, cinnamon-red, and almond-orange. On a technical basis, the coin features a moderately successful strike and luxuriously bold luster.

World Coins-Mexico
Mastodon Collection. KM#120, Mexico City mint, 0.0952 oz. Slightly flashy and sharp, the quality lays every claim to the choice grade level. Though occasionally found somewhat semi-prooflike, this pleasing little beauty has become bathed in shimmering luster after a very good strike. Higher grade examples seen by the cataloger all seem to have been taken off of repolished, previously rusted dies that created peculiarly dimpled texture over the upper and lower portrait.
