Oh man. I have no idea on how to grade this. Could be anywhere between AU details and MS-70+. All I can say is WOW. It's galaxy toned!  |

Is this your coin? What incredible color!  I'll toss in a MS66 guess as it's nearly impossible to grade this from a static photo. |

Could go higher. Maybe 67 or 68. I think the uneven toning in some places could keep it from going higher. This one should be slabbed

It is my coin. Thank you for the grades thus far.

I can't pull enough data from the images to offer a grade. Not like the grade really matters for this one.  |

Very interesting coin... is this artificial toning? or natural? Very nice Morgan Grader!

@morgangrader,
Is it in a slab right now?

This toning is the result of the coin being placed in an ideal environment for toning. Unfortunately, PCGS considers it not market acceptable. I disagree, it's vivid, deep and wholly natural in my opinion. A couple major differentiators you'll see on market acceptable toning that are generally absent on AT coins are present on this coin, namely elevation chromatics and pull-away toning.

Well, if the coin has been placed in the same conditions as NT coins were, how could it by definition be AT? PCGS makes decisions based on odd reasoning some times.
I'm seeing glorious, near-impossible NT here I'd believe in nothing but a Morgan.

The reverse is "market acceptable" in my opinion. The obverse is not.

I think that the obverse would make the coin be considered AT. For that I will say MS-details questionable color. It still looks very nice though. |
