The vast majority of the BC coins I bought were individual lot coins. About 2/3 of the BC coins sold by Superior in the 4 main BC auctions were paired coin lots. This is the one paired coin lot I bought. The colors are much darker than I normally like for toners, but in this case they work for me. Both coins are MS 63*.

I like them very much and this is the color scheme that I prefer for Morgan dollars. Have you thought of having them slabbed in a multi-holder with one obverse and one reverse facing up?

I like them. One of the reasons that I like the BC Morgans is that the toning is “deep.” I don’t know if that’s the right technical term but the toning looks really burned in. It’s hard to see in pictures but these appear to have a nice deep toning.

I've thought about it, but prefer them in a single holder as that way they'll go in the NGC box easily, which in turn goes easily into my safe deposit box.

Thank you folks for your nice comments.
