Yet another post for Matt(12 yr old) about his favorite coin in his collection. Go for it, Matt: Just was bored so I wanted to post it.It is a 1890 Morgan dollar with some really nice toning on the front.I got it for $24 and it grades about MS60-MS62.Let me know what you think. MATT.   |

Nice patena. Althought, without the toning it wouldn't MS62.

Toning doesn't really change the grade IMHO. It gives it more eye appeal so it ca sell for a little more. Matt any way you can get a few higher detail pictures like that Franklin you posted before? I see 2 rim nicks that would effect the grade a bit but I can't give a good guess without a bigger picture. Awesome Toning!  |

Matt, I think it's a great looking coin and in good shape. Be sure you take care of it, it's 117 years old and needs to be protected. Tell your folks you'd like some nice gold coins to go with it.

Beautiful coin, Matt. Another great artifact from American history is how I look at it.
Keep it up, Matt. You are way ahead of where I was when I was 12.

Hi Matt Now thats what collecting is all about !! Collect what you like and you will never be disappointed !! Morgan dollars are a very cool coin they covered a period of time that contained some of our greatest History as a nation ,, plus they are big and silver and that never hurts . Nice toning on the coin !! Metalman |

I like the toning as well!! Gee, I never had a silver dollar until I was an old man (thirty-something).

I agree with everyone , but can really relate to Daniel J. Goeverts statement which is the most important reason I collect

Great coin for the price and for the age of 12 that's for sure. Now just where did the $$ come from? At 12 not to many have that much money or am I getting just to old?

When I was 12 my biggest question was, "How many candy bars is it worth?"
BTW, back then candy bars had just gone up to a nickel, and everyone was saving silver coins because of the new bogus clad coins.
