Thanks for moving my post to a new topic Fuzzy317  Looks like this resulted in an "avalanche" of responses by Coin Community Forum members  I have always been impressed by the "majestic" design of the Morgan dollar. Thanks to MikeF and SilverDollar2017 for the helpful hints and showing the "well suntanned Lady Liberty" on that 1878 Morgan dollar. I believe it was minted in San Francisco. Maybe I will start a collection of these gorgeous coins. Coins minted in Carson City might be interesting to collect also. That place has quite a reputation.. Squire |

Very nice coin! That cheek is incredibly clean. Did you pay more than $35? I had a similar coin, and it graded MS 65 for me.

Thanks twotonevf35 and Debrajc  I paid $30 Australian for my "lightly suntanned Lady Liberty", coin197. That is about $23.50 US. But I think it is worth every cent. A real "beauty"...  Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

That's a great deal on a pretty Morgan, Squire Wilson. Toned CC's will cost you, though.
SilverDollar2017, great Morgan with 100% toning (which aren't easy to find).

Thanks for the web link John1. Some of the toning looks "unearthly"  What is a reasonable price for a Carson City Morgan dollar ron6788?  Thanks for the kind welcome nickelsearcher  Squire Edited by Squire Wilson

You got a good deal for $23.50! Quote:What is a reasonable price for a Carson City Morgan dollar ron6788? It depends on the date and condition. Some of the more common CC dates are the 1882-CC, 83-CC, and 84-CC, and some of the rarer dates are the 1879-CC and 1889-CC. Try looking up the sold prices on ebay for certified CC Morgan dollars to get a good idea of the value. |

Squire Wilson and Silver Dollar, nice Morgans! Squire, if you are interested in toned Morgans, let me offer you a little advice. Stick with PCGS and NGC graded coins as you learn how to differentiate between natural toning and artificial. It will save you a lot of grief. As far as pricing goes, you can pretty much throw the price guides out the door. Every toned coin is unique and priced accordingly. The intensity of the toning, the pattern, the colors present, the amount of underlying luster all contribute to the final value. Look at enough pieces and you will develop a feel for it. Have you ever seen Andy Kimmel's "the Comet" ? She is considered one of the most spectacular toned Morgans in existence. Enjoy!  Edited by hadleydog

Thanks for all your helpful comments CCF members . Wow, 500 posts is a great "landmark". Thanks for bringing it to my attention John1  I have enjoyed the informative "virtual conversations" with fellow Coin Community Forum members  . So many of us are willing to share our invaluable knowledge regarding numismatics.  I have learned a great deal and the feedback from fellow members has always been something to look forward to. The "Comet Morgan" is amazing  , hadleydog. I will investigate how this toning can be achieved. Squire |

Thanks for the informative web link cboyera A really thorough analysis of the toning of these coins. Sunglasses required when viewing this web page, due to the intense colour of these toned coins... Squire |
