1896 Morgan Toned

Just let me say, the images are a MASSIVE improvement!

With that said... this kind of toning is meh at best. At worst, the darker areas in front of Libertys head could be considered damage due to the toning being too far advanced. That would be referred to as terminal toning. The fingerprint is distracting and something that will cause some to pass on it. Less demand, lower price.

With toning, you want to be able to cartwheel the coin and see luster underneath. The strongest premiums come from coins that exhibit rainbow colors. Here's a few images of coins I own that I consider attractively toned that would draw a nice premium if I sold them;

This coin is off being graded by PCGS right now; While it won't draw a HUGE premium, it is still nice enough to probably get about 25% premium over grade.



Here's by far the nicest toner I own, Already graded PCGS 65. I consider this coin to probably be worth about 2x guide.



Now the kind of coins that go for moon money;



It's all about colors. Blues, purples, greens, pinks... those are the big money colors. This link should give you some idea as to how toning works and how hard it is to find certain colors, and why;

Depends on the toning. Decent shot, I mean, it's a clean coin. But due to impaired luster, I couldn't see it higher than 62. I'd have to see it in hand to tell ya... if the black toned areas look like a fine ash (for... lack of a better way of describing it) covering the coin with no light reflecting through, then it would probably go details. If some luster still comes through the black, you'd be fine.

MS-62.
