That's does have some nice color. This also has clashing on the rev. between eagle's left wing & wreath near the top. Try VAM World Edited by chris12018

It looks to me like there may also be some clashing on the obverse (right of Liberty's cap). Nice looking coin!

Nice toning on the coin. I just started with Morgans and I am trying to learn grading myself, but my best estimate would be AU55-58 due to the slight wear on the hair above the eyebrow and ear. Congrats on your 1st "toned" Morgan!

I will say AU-58 for this coin. Very nice toning.

I can't tell if that is wear on her hair or just a weak strike, as you see more often with the Os.
What I am norticing is a clear sort of spot above her cap under the U, almost as though somebody started to try cleaning with a Qtip and acetone.
I would have had a hard time leaving her cold and lonely in the display case too. ice colour toning. Too bad about those scufs on the obverse.
To be conservative AU58, but in hand I might call it MS 62.

the trouble with grading this coin is,,,its an original coin and toned Morgan where later in life....it had a few scuffs which erase the original toning and draw much attention to these areas as if they are atrocities.....I don't think they are, but it sure gets in the way of eye appeal.... its a beautiful original coin...MS 62 is a safe bet, but I wouldn't be a bit suprized to see it make MS64 the scuffs are very light...without them 64/65

oh no! Once you get into toning your gonna be addicted :D There are a lot of amazing morgans in pcgs or ngc holders that are very very nicely toned! When you see them and start buying one, you will want more. Collecting toned coins can be addictive.
