Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 05:23 am Beautiful! I saw one at the show that was toned a sort of blackish color. Just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. Now I wish I had. great pick up! Report this Post to the Staff
lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 06:34 am I too love the toned Morgans. Too much for me to be spending right now when I have other stuff I'd rather own. Congrats on the pick up Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 7:00 pm I have one Morgan that has bluish hints around it and has darker color in other places, I don't really like the toning at all on it and the only reason I bought the coin was because I needed the VAM upgrade this coin provided and they are few and far between in this particular grade (3 total in this grade both services combined). About a week after I got the toned example I cherry picked another one blast white graded by NGC (the other was graded by PCGS) in the same grade, just my luck. I now have 2 of the 3 ever graded and attributed this high by PCGS and NGC combined Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6390 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 7:44 pm So, what's the assigned ~~NGC~~ PCGS grade? Normally toned common-date Morgans are only slabbed when mint state but this coin looks to have some high-point friction that would suggest AU. How did ~~NGC~~ PCGS call it? Edit: MS-63 it is; I guess they should know! The first obverse photo sure makes it look lightly circulated but apparently that's just the way the toning developed.

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 8:04 pm Nice color, I like it. Bryan1315, pictures? I'd like to see the one with the toning you don't care for. It sounds interesting. ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
master6238 Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 8:08 pm It doesn't look circulated to me, its just hard to tell in those photos, the blue looks warn off in the photos but its just the coin shining. Edited by master6238 06/04/2011 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 1:48 pm Nice toner! I have several toned Morgan dollars but I remember my first toned one and it is still my favorite! Congratulations on your new acquisition. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 3:54 pm this is the only ones I have that are toned(first one with different lighting) This is the one that is pink and blue around the peripherals of the coin and then goes to darker black color. its hard to get in the picture so you are just going to have to take my word on it I guess. The Reverse has blues and pink in the middle (still hard to photograph with the lighting I have) edit: Forgot about this one, I have more pictures of it but this is the only ones I can find right now. It has pink and rose colored toning around the edges also Report this Post to the Staff
master6238 Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 5:16 pm Wow Bryan that first one with the rainbow tone is nice looking, I really like the purple color on it. I can see some green on the middle one too, its a nice green I bet it looks great in the sun. Edited by master6238 06/05/2011 5:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 6:44 pm Nice coin master, and welcome to the forum. I had thought that your coin probably looks very different with different photos, as your original photos made it look a little...strange. Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 10:23 pm Bryan1315, thanks for posting the photos of your dollars. The rainbow is very striking and the next one has mint luster so thick you can cut it with a knife I really like that one and the third dollar appears to have somewhat proof like surfaces and the color I find attractive also. I am one who prefers a very nicely toned coin over the same date / mint that is blast white, to me the color adds character IMHO. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
