Based on visual looks and appeal, that coin looks like garbage. They supply or here is visually appealing aged over time toned coins. That coin is over priced based on uglyniess. Lol

I like that coin I think it's cool It's a beautiful coin. Anyway I would give it a MS-66...maybeeee a 67. BTW thanks Ssuper Ddave for the info, that makes a lot of sense. There was a 2012 ASE lying on my coin dealer's window sill that toned like crazzzzy. When the summer was over I asked if he could save it for me, and he did, but I didn't have the extra money to buy it. Either way it was a very cool coin. |

Quote:Huge premium? I hope you didn't pay one. This girl is toned on BOTH sides! $1350, or best offer. Your's is the same grade, yes? "1896 $1 PCGS/CAC MS66+ - Colorful Toning Morgan silver dollar" I don't trust that one any farther than you can throw a $1000 bag. It's conceivable that it *could* tone that way in an album, but the album pages would have to be made up of Taco Bell napkins. Not a chance that happened while in the possession of the Mint. Here's the actual link, BTW: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1896-1-PCGS...em2ecc7fd5e3Quote:There was a 2012 ASE lying on my coin dealer's window sill that toned like crazzzzy. You should have seen the one Fredd did on his windowsill.  Edit: Here's Fredd's coin, and a thread that'll teach you a lot about toning: https://goccf.com/t/85732 |

Although I don't use the number grade myself (I'd just grade it as unc), the slabber probably gave it a 68, +/- 1.
Saying that, the most I'd offer on it would be around $20, and if I won it in auction I'd clean all that coin-fungus off of the reverse so it wouldn't infect the rest of my coins.
You can probably tell which side I am on as far as toned/un-toned coins.
Although I don't care for the looks of Morgans, I do like the obverse of this one.

Okay, since everybody will probably be asleep by the time I get off work and home to post the last and finally picture. I will tell everyone the grade. It's graded MS66+.

It's graded MS66+. Looks like I was the first to call this one a high grade coin at MS66+ I thought it may have reached a MS67 grade, it is what the market will call a monster toned dollar. Some collectors like them others hate them, as evidenced by the comments throughout this thread. I've always liked a nicely toned Morgan myself, but to each their own. The toned coins are sure much harder to grade form a static photo, one really needs to have it in hand with a strong pinpoint lamp to see the surfaces underneath. A photo can be manipulated with color saturation and other enhancements to make it appear much more colorful than it would to the naked eye. Nice coin by the way! (IMO).  Wanted to edit my post and add this link: http://www.jhonecash.com/coins/tonedmorgans.aspIt has a very good article on natural vs. artificially toned coins.
