I'm not looking to buy right now but that is a beautiful piece. Great pic.

Ditto!

I like both.

I have two Morgan dollars that I absolutely love.

One is uncirculated and proof like; the other is somewhere between good and fine and has an S that someone punched into the reverse long ago.

Both are beautiful, but in different ways

Bobo, now you have my missing the many gorgeous coins that used to be posted on CP.com.

Looks like a very cheaply made chip!

It would be interesting to see modern tokens.

How is the toning in person?

Nice offering, Colin

Likewise I don't recall it. Love the Art Deco style though, and the lyre is definitely something I wouldn't expect to see on an American coin.

The classic commemoratives had several great Art Deco designs

You guys have commemorative notes?

Very cool insight, guys!

I'll admit that I've never ever heard of this coin. That shows you how deep the commemorative series gets.

Anybody out there have one?

Very cool find! I had the show on my calendar for months but a last minute problem at work cropped up... I plan to be there in June!!

So the mystery still lingers?

It makes you wonder... when is a coin a coin?

Maybe YeOldeCollector can help us out!

Will anyone in our forum get their hands on the most secure coin in the world??

I remember this coin being in the news when it was struck. Now someone's gone off and stolen it.

Can't believe a private buyer bought it in the first place!

Also, it's not a coin!

I'll have to ask my friends and family who served in Vietnam if they used any of these MPCs.

Love that horseshoe token!

I thought that was his hair!

All the machines I remember to check never have anything. Not even an errant post-1982 cent.

Colors!

Agree. Great information!

We have a great winery nearby called Veritas. In Vino Veritas is their motto.

Weird. A real conundrum.

Heehee
