So I won this gal from Indian1, completing my mint mark set for Morgans, and getting myself a Morgan near that coveted by some "lowball" state (graded by Indian1 as FR2):

"That thing's been around the block a few times!" said my grandfather when I showed it to him.

One thing I wanted to find out about it was the mass difference between it and my au 1883 O that I leave loose.

I let the images of my scale speak here:

A 6 percent weight loss. She's a lean, mean, fighting Morgan machine.

She's still beautiful.

Yeah, still some charm there.

I wonder if I was bidding against SuperDave to get her, he over these.
