who is Lehigh? well either way I really think the coin has such nice appeal=)

 

I like it, looks like roll toning from the center of the roll.

 

well too bad...I purchased the coin already....
the best $23.99 I ever bought=) hehe...

I can't wait to get it in the mail....

 

is the color green on toned coins carry more premium?

 

Thats not a bad buy at that price. The toning looks all original to me as well . I would not be surprised if you were to sell that , that you would not find someone to pay $50.00 .

 

I will post piks as soon as I get it, but from the looks of it, the dealer looks pretty legit
but still i'd rather see it in person than in pictures...for all I know, it could be photoshopped

 

As far as toned coins go, green is the money color, usually bringing a higher premium over its other toned counterparts.

 

That is a really nice looking Morgan. MS63 with above average eye appeal IMO. For $23 quite a steal. EBAY purchase?

 

I love the toning on this and im not a toner person. Whats with the squiggly lines at 9 o lock on the obverse? Slab scratch?

 

There are lots of toned "coin dealers" (doctors) on eBay that have over 5000 transactions and 100% feedback.

 

Oh, would something like that get graded since it looks like a distraction to the eye appeal? Thats all I notice when I see the photo.

 

Im familiar with what bag marks are, I guess its cause the coin is toned that the mark sticks out like a sore thumb, to me anyways.

 

I have to agree Doug. Given the apparent eye appeal of the coin, the price would seem to indicate that the coin has a problem. As for me going gaga over the coin, you convinced me not to settle when purchasing common coins. This one, although pretty, is a little too baggy.

Green is the most desirable color because it is the rarest. Here is an example of an 1886 Morgan with the much sought after emerald green.



BTW, welcome to the forum,

Yes I did buy it at ebay...who also has a account here....
the guy seems pretty nice but the price...hmm
Well see when I get it...as far as bag marks...I saw it,
I didnt mind since its my first actual "toned" coin...

I have a couple of morgans and the toning on them is pretty
much the average gold on the rims...
I will show pics when I do purchase it, besides...if anything the
dealer said I could return it if im not satisfied with it...

btw lehigh96, great to meet you...and that green on the morgan looks
fantastic...im envious....I have seen alot of those Battle Creek Morgans all over
