    Jim inspired post of a nicely toned Morgan

    I just had this added to VAMworlds VAM-24 listing for the full coin pic and thought I would post (Jim inspired). It's not a very exciting VAM but thought is was a very nicely toned coin that had great eye appeal! VAM link(http://ec2-13-58-222-16.us-east-2.co.../1886-P_VAM-24)
    Thanks for looking, Jon.

    That is an awesome coin... Your images are so good I was able to zoom in at 600% (Only because I stopped)... Not only can I see Liberty's nose hairs but the eagles also I see why you like this one so much!!!

    Thank you Jim. I've seen several folks here post about how different Lincolns photograph differently, the same definitely goes for Morgans and I'm sure all coins. Some just want their pics taken and then there are some that will fight you every step of the way. I'm not sure if it is tone, reflection or combinations of different things but every coin is different!

    Thanks Cliff!! For me, my six year pit stop on Morgans had little to do with the silver content. I just fell in love with the coin. It's detail and character are amazing for a coin that is 130 + years old. Now I do agree that when I hear that unmistakable sound in change, it will stop me in my tracks! It's very seldom it happens anymore but when it does, I immediately go digging through the handful of change to find it!!

    Thanks Tracy!! It's just a little COOLPIX L24 Nikon. This is my second one. I buy them used on eBay for about $40. https://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-pr...olpix-l24.html
