I agree, the reason I chose this coin is because I sold it last year when I dumped 30 toned morgans that I no longer wanted in my collection. NGC has starred quite a few undeserving coins IMO.
Agree also,, I'd almost classify that coin as damaged due to toning (erosion), and would not give more than silver value for it. That said, my guess is that some poor collector out there probably paid for the star. Will guess $110
There are enought toned collectors that want to see the spectrum of color and that coin provides more than most. I would say $165.
Unless we are talking about spectrum's of BLACK, I'm gonna have to politely disagree harshly with that one ; ) I see: Dark Black Medium black Light black Charcoal Gray Haze gray and among the darkness, rot, damage and erosion: only a bit of: blue red yellow Unless your a Goth and piercing fan, I just don't get it.... there are Thousands and thousand... and yes, more thousands of toned Morgans out there that present much more full and well balanced spectrums.
I get that coin is too black for a majority of people, but it catches a lot of the spectrum when I look at Sunnywoods color chart. Would it be my first choice, no. Will someone like it, yes!
I'm wondering if it got the star because of the wavy shape. $125. Wow, I was way high on the quarter. Those aren't my thing but I should've known better. I thought the consistency of color both sides would've added something.
I think I got the coin at a 50% discount to market at the time of purchase due to the holder. I was picking up every segs and pci coin I could around 10 yrs ago when ebay allowed them to post the certification.... they were getting hammered on most forums and it created a nice discount for those that would grade the coin and ignore the holder. My opinion of this coin is that it would easily cross as 65 to pcgs or ncg, has nice toning (nicer in hand), and would likely get ~$30 give or take in today's market.
It is in todays market $25-$30 IMO. The coin that started my set was similar in the chocolate toning, nice coin.
Well, the 1962-D rosie from my post 1830 finally went off last night. Remember it didn't sell at $90 the 1st time up, went for $60 bucks last night and wingedliberty hit it on the head. Now that I've completely screwed up the order here for posting the next coin, good luck.
The 1883-O morgan went for $190 making blu62vette the closest. When I sold it last year it went for $140, go figure.
Since we seem to have gotten a bit loose on this thread, me being guilty of screwing the flow up, how about I'll just post a quickie new aquisition and see what happens. This is a NGC 64pl, finest known, pop 1.
I do not know what you are doing to list these coin, but when I "click here to enlarge", it goes straight to the TT auction listing for this coin.
That's a beautiful canadian one cent coin! not sure about the canadian market (and toning premiums there) though. I will say $340 just as a wild-a$$ guess (but i have no confidence in that) with a population of 1 ... it could be much higher and being canadian ... it could be so much lower
