It is a gorgeous coin and from what I gather from my reference materials and Numismedia you slightly over paid. I think I would have given $220 for her myself. Numismedia lists it at $192 and the 2010 Red Book at $200 even. She will be worth way more than your purchase price in a couple of years I think, so I say you did alright.

Yeah I figured the toning is worth some premium -- at least + 20%

IMO the toning adds a relatively large premium and you got a good deal.

It's a great coin and I'm not a fan of toning.

I wasn't a big fan of toning, but with the right coin it is hard to not like...and I like!

What a looker! I feel that you didn't overpay at all. The colors are awesome!

Very nice!
From the picture it appears like there is lots of luster under the toning that should give the colours some real pop. As for price, you did just fine.

Luster was more or less full on it just a couple small breaks on the cheek worthy of the 64 grade. Colors pop nicely in natural light and match the picture

I have received this coin in the mail. I was worried the photo might be doctored up but actual appearance more or less matches the auction photo (minus my sub-par photography skills). Here is a picture in natural light. Definitely the nicest toned Morgan in my collection.

You did very well. In the event that you ever wanted to sell it I think patient money is $300 on it. I assign a lot of value to the toning and the fact that the next grade up is worth over a grand!
