Aurora Borealis's Coin Album
This newly acquired Mercury Dime is tied for a top pop coin with 24 other 1939-D`s, With that said it is one of the few that are totally toned from rim to rim on both sides and only two others are CAC`d as this piece is. Many of the other 24 coins were stored in a cardboard card holder, type board with a cardboard strap across the coin on a diagonal which caused a blank area of color where the strap had gone across the coin. This piece could have been stored in an envelope but more likely was stored in an album for many years. Either way this beautiful little Gem is absolutely off the charts.....
This Morgan Dollar is another coin acquired from the Northern Lights sales that Legend Rare Coin Auctions in conjunction with the PCGS`s Invitational and members only show. "Pizzazz" is a beautiful rim to rim toned Morgan with exceptional eye appeal and such a great character coin with the great vivid textile toning extending up Liberty`s neck and exceptionally clean cheek. Lustrous pristine surfaces with intense clear color make it an exceptional quality coin.....
Another former Bryan Sonnier Morgan Dollar that ended up in Tom Turissini`s personal collection... This amazing Morgan is about as beautiful as a Morgan Dollar comes. Not surprising of Tom to have amazing coins with his great eye for super quality. The superb crystal clear rich color is rim to rim with extraordinary dripping luster. One of my personal favorites we came up with the name that we believe fits it very well. "Oracle".....
Acquired from a good friend of mine, Tom Turissini a top collector of copper coins gave me an amazing opportunity and opened up his private collection of toned Morgan Dollars to me some years ago, simply because he knew I had a love for beautifully toned Morgan Dollars. This beautiful former Bryan Sonnier Morgan has everything I like. Rim to rim multi color with blazing luster the pristine surfaces just glow. The pure smooth and flowing color is why we have named this piece "Purity".....
Another Morgan Dollar I acquired from my friend the late Mike DeFalco. This piece is such a stunner with pristine surfaces and such beautiful colors. The way that the colors make an arc coming down across Liberty`s forehead and continuing down, give it a perfect rainbow effect. Hence the name "Perfect Rainbow".....
Another Morgan Dollar I acquired from my friend the late Mike DeFalco. This was my very first mint state 68 Morgan. It was originally in a MS68 Star holder. There were no plus grades back then and some years later I sent it into PCGS for a crossover and it came back in PCGS MS68+ holder. It appears to have been positioned in the mint bag near the seam as the center band of color along with a textile pattern and within that area what appears to be the actual stitches, (blue, pink and gold) impression-ed in color in a central arc across the coin. That along with the pristine surfaces and rim to rim color, we gave it the name "Stitched Perfection". Mike once told me at that time, it was technically the finest toned Morgan Dollar he had ever handled.....
