Yea tonedmo - For that Gold Plated Morgan . I would look into APMEX , see what they have about them (find out the amount and what not of the gold) Look over a few , and heck BUY ONE .. Knowing now its "Proper gold plate" I'm thinking about it just , well , I'm addicted to these things and Golds Good looking on anything .. lol Ohh yea I know they make the REV proof on the Eagles . (have a few) Just , not of the morgan , Nor SO POORLY Done ..  . Just was kinda funny .. and at 92$ starting bid .. hope he's expecting to relist it .. And hope hes planing on dropping the price to about 35/40$ lol .. Edited by tatt2ed13

The description of the "reverse proof" Morgan states that it "HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY HAND TO BRING OUT THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND IN A REVERSE PROOF FINISH." I just checked APMEX and don't see any gold plated Morgans currently listed. I did see them a few months ago, I swear! |

Well, at least the seller is being "somewhat" honest, but as we all know not completely. Ha, I believe you about APMEX, just was taken back when I saw this coin. Thanks for the good info though! |

Mints around the World will offer new NCLT product that is selectively gold plated, if they perceive a commercial opportunity. Technically, these products are usually of a high standard.
This one is obviously a private after market offer. It seems to me that the plating here is also of a high technical standard. The value of the plating would be no more than a dollar or so, the cost of putting it there I guess would be less than $10 for a large production run.
It does look rather attractive, but of little numismatic merit.
They are not my cup of tea.

Geeeaeszzz! that "reverse proof'd" Morgan's reverse, that blast finish nibbled the tips of the eagle's wings yet is far away from the head, arrows and other devices.
FAIL on the execution of what could have been a great looking idea.

trout105: I confess that the RAM product DOES look attractive.

in 2006 they made a set of 5 of them, I have 2 or 3 from the set but as everything else I kind of lost interest in Britannia's before I finished them. Here is another one   |

Those Brit coins definitely improve the Queens portrait.
