I think that the toning makes the Morgan even more bteautiful. Other than the toning that Morgan is in great condition.

You should probably mail it to me so I can get a good look at it so I can give my opinion.  |

AT? NT? Pretty? Ugly? What do ya think? I don't know if it's artificial or natural toning but I like that Morgan.  |

Yes it does have pink. Pink, orange, green, and blue. On the reverse. The last 2 photos show the true colors of the rev. quite well.

Man, I hate to go against the tide here, because a lot of the other posters are very experienced and probably more familiar with Morgans than me, but it looks borderline to me. I'm not saying it definitively is AT, but it gives me that gut feeling of being unsure. It's not one red flag, but several things together that make me feel that way.
First off, there's no pull-away or shadowing from the devices like you often see on toned Morgans. It's not something you always see, but it's something I look for and is almost impossible on AT coins. The toning is also very uniform across the whole surface, on both sides. That happens sometimes, and is normal with certain toning patterns, but usually one side is much more strongly toned than the other. The color in the toning also seems to follow a random swirly pattern. Usually, the pattern follows the geometry of the coin (rim toning, or crescent toning), or the environment (e.g. a textile pattern), or is strongly affected by the devices. And the luster on the obverse just seems off to me, like it has a greasy quality.
That's just what I see. It's also possible that the pictures are swaying me and that it looks different in-hand (e.g. maybe there's a little bit of pull-away). Anyhow, I would trust the opinion of the Morgan folks here over my own. I'd rather be corrected, because it is pretty.

Well captainfwiffo you are somewhat correct.... I live in michigan and have a dank nasty basement lol. This was put in the window down there. It does have pull away but isint too strong because I kept picking it up to look at it lol. It took a long time before it looked like this. Here is a pic of the pull away under some letters.  Had I not kept looking at it, it would have been much stronger pull away effect. So all you need is a michigan basement and lots of time. Edited by LincolnGuy
