It's essential to have it in the title. * Greetings gang, I'm a Boomer who had a small coin collection as a kid but never did much with it, I think my brother absconded with it when I went to L.A. after H.S. with my band. Not long ago I found a slab in a parking lot, and it turned out to be an 1879 double eagle. I read everything I could about the coin and became fascinated with the history and now I'm sort of hooked. I learned that it was a fairly common year and mint, probably VF40 or better but definitely cleaned from the many small scratches and the lifeless patina so I sold it a bit over spot. Now I'm able to buy more affordable coins that I really like. Ad a newbie I think I've already been burned. I love deep harvest toning and found a very affordable AU Morgan with great eye appeal. Now I wonder if it was toned... What do you guys think? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15867 Posts	Posted Today 6H 24M ago to the CCF I moved your thread to a more appropriate forum for better attention. One of our experts will weigh in with their opinions on your Morgan dollar. Thats an incredible story about the found Double Eagle. All of us would enjoy hearing more about that find - but in a separate post. Please post only once coin per thread so we can keep the discussion straight. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, there are sellers whose coins are undeniably artificially toned - the seller RainbowTonedCoins comes to mind: https://www.ebay.com/str/tonedcoinsnet But your coin looks natural. However, I would not pay a great deal over melt for it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4499 Posts	Posted Today 1H 40M ago Your example looks like natural toning. On Morgan's best to stay away from examples with scratches on Liberty's cheek. The scratch on the cheek hurts eye appeal and grading. The cheek is the prime grading area on Morgan silver dollars. The 1882 is a common date, so be selective when you buy as there are lots to choose from. If you are going to buy high end toners with eye appeal, best to stick to examples in a TPG from NGC, PCGS or CAC holders. Buying expensive raw toners is a easy way to get burnt.

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1907 Posts	Posted Today 1H 3M ago Whoever lost that slabbed gold is going to be missing it and wondering where it went for the remainder of his/her natural life. That dark Morgan looks like typical normal near end stage toning of silver. Some folks find it attractive; others, less so. Also, Report this Post to the Staff
