I have a few 63s

Really pretty luster and fun variety:


I have many PLs. No clue how this one didnt get a PL or star:



I hard date, lots of sparkling luster:


Seemed a tad harsh on the grade:



Another hard date, also seemed a tad harsh:


I bought these hoping there would be a fun 2021 Morgan Commemorative to team them with:

 

I have tons of coins and well over 1000 Morgan's but not a single one is a MS-63.

 

I think it's technically fair as a 63 but with market grading and toning bumps, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a 64+ holder (I don't think I'd win the crackout game here so I don't try; plus it's a long term keeper, so I'm happy leaving it as is).

 

One more for now (this one entered the box of 20 in version 2.0).

 

One would assume he wanted to buy it.

 

And then offer it as a PQ+ "undergraded" gem.

 

LOL

 

nice

 

most of my Morgans are higher than 63, but here are a couple of toners:

 

Dang I’m gonna have to turn down the contrast on my iPhone. You guys keep posting touched up photos like that. Back away from the photo shop!

Seriously those are some spectacular examples of 63‘s! Obviously you can get great luster or spectacular toning in any grade in the 60s but I’m going to keep my eyes open for lower graded gems. I do think quite a few of y’alls Morgan’s are 64s masquerading as 63’s but that just makes them cooler.

 

I think you know what to do.

 

OK you forced my hand. All this color makes me want to play instead of wait. I’m gonna have to show the sellers photo of the coin I got today. Too much of a deal to pass up. Curious to know if it will look better or worse under different lighting.

 

@stevereecy it looks promising! As with many coins, it probably looks better at certain angles but I'm seeing the potential of nice color and semi-pl surfaces.

 

That’s what I was thinking. I mean who am I kidding? As a toning lover when I look at my coins I just find that optimal lighting angle and hold it there and soak it all in. It’s worth finding out. There was very little premium on the coin for its color.

Edit: I’d like to see your 1891 (above) under brighter light. I don’t think your picture is doing it justice. (Same with Morgan Dude’s wonder twins)

 

I

I'm hoarding them.

 

Yep it's definitely one that is worth the risk, especially with very little premium.

Here is a video of the 1891:

Cool video. When I was a kid, every couple years or so my Dad would pull out an old velvet-lined wooden box and go through his coin collection at the kitchen table (wistfully smoking a cigarette). It was really more like an accumulation than a collection, but I was awe-struck by the obsolete designs of his mostly worn 20th century coins and their wild blue and purple concentric colors. Your coin reminds me of them. To me, old coins and toning go together like peanut butter and jelly.

I think my mom might still have his collection. When she passes, my siblings can have the coins. I just want that box.
