Not entirely sure TKC, it looks like glass. It is encapsulated and I am not able to open it without damaging the capsule to find out for sure.

Bryan, That is a great coin. I Love the Morgans when they are toned like that. Nice and big and shows the colors. I actually got my first Morgan today as well. It's a 1888 O and it is in AU condition to my eye. I found an antique mall where one dealer has hundreds of US coins. I also grabbed a few more Walking Liberty halves that I needed. One is a 1942 in AU condition and the whole thing is a bright gold tone. Very cool..... |

yeah its about UGLY in my opinion, but like I have said in the past I just dont like toned coins, The reverse is all kinds of pretty colors in hand but it sure doesn't picture well but the obverse....well what can I say. I think once NCS washes all the ugly off it should be a good canditate for a MS-67

They are stunning pics, Lim! And Bryan1315, not sure what is meant by 'ugly' ... to my mind is magic-looking coin. So there you go  I've nothing at all recent to show here. Collect just Australian pre-decimal's meself; but will be looking to pick up coin similar to Bryan's (colorful), on return from bush in around 3 weeks. Cheers |

I went yesterday to the coin shop and picked up two more proof sets I needed. I got the 2000 and 2002 Clad Proof sets. I now have all of the new proof sets 1999-2006 Clad sets. Now I am going to start working on getting the rest from 1968- 1998. I do have the 1975 my birth year but other then that I need the rest. The dealer I go to have great price on proof set hard to pass on most of them have not found anyone else who can even get close to his price. I got my 2000 for 21.00 and got my 2002 for 31.50 thought those were great prices. I should be going back either this weekend or next week to get more set.
The dealer messed up and acedenty told me that my niegbor got me a gift cirtifacate to him. He thought I had already received it. He just told me act supised so when I get that I will be heading back.
