The toning does not look like AT from the blurry pictures (That made me a bit nervous). Should I have bid higher? Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 04/11/2013 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Although possible, I don't trust the toning; it's too "perfect" on each face. You don't often see that with an NT Morgan. Furthermore, I think the poor photography is masking a circulated coin. You can do better. Report this Post to the Staff

From the pictures I'd put it around MS 60-61, so $52 - $60 would have been my limits. But with that said, I've certainly paid more than a coin was worth because of my perceived need and OCD.

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/11/2013 7:20 pm It looks like AT to me. There is not any pull away around the stars and lettering which makes me think it's recent toning. If it went for less than $70.00 it's not a true monster toned Morgan. As SsuperDdave said, you missed nothing in my opinion also. Report this Post to the Staff
