smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 4:41 pm You don't normally see that "bronzish" toning on the obverse on UNC Morgans. Report this Post to the Staff
kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 5:15 pm that bronzish toning is from my lamp. its supposed to be a led desk lamp but its so dang bright I had to put tape over it just to tone it down a little. ill try to get some better pictures. if I email them would they give me specifics?

BarberMan2016 Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 8:16 pm The obverse appears dulled out on the face. That would be my guess. Overdipped? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 11:12 pm If we can indulge in guesses, perhaps the cheek has been smoothed. I once had a Morgan with a nice obverse cameo look. I was told it had been "improved" by adding a putty-like substance to hide scratches on the cheek. I could not see the alteration myself but that was the reason given by the TPG for not grading it. Report this Post to the Staff
kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 06:29 am I found how to rotate! It's a little longer process with the phone but I got it. I think I found the culprit? It is in an icg holder, graded MS64 DMPL. I sent in with min grade of 64PL because I know how PCGS is with cameos and dmpls. If I submit to NGC I would have to crack it out first, which I dont want to do if I dont have to. The price point I got it at is just under half of what 64PL goes for which is why I chose that min. grade. What do you think caused that splotching? Will a acetone bath help?
