Anyone know if and how much the tone on this morgan? I mean i love the tone but it may be more neutral its very green in hand.
The colors are attractive. If you were to throw it on the 'bay with a few nice photos catching the coin at certain angles that capture the various hues, then yes, I'm sure there'd be someone who'd pay a small premium. -Brian
Well thats the thing what is the difference between someone paying for a blue but not for a green. i read somewhere that greens are a more difficult color to find than rainbows
Some people prefer darker hues like blue, purple, or even red on their Morgans, and some may prefer lighter colors like green/yellow/pink... It simply depends on who's around at what time and what appeals to him/her. I've listed some, what I find, attractively-toned coins on eBay before for a set price that didn't sell within the 7-day auction period, and the following week when relisted, the bids shot past the set price within the first day! From my experience, the deciding factor for toned coins is quality imaging... The better the photo, the better the bids, IMO. Now, for your coin, with a decent camera and a bit of fiddling with diffuse lighting, you could pull some nice colors out of her (I detect some orange/green/yellow hues in the peripheries), ultimately effecting bids in a positive way (Keep in mind, I am typing this assuming that you wish to sell the coin [which I probably shouldn't assume, to be honest]). -Brian
I'm a lover of toned silver coins from the 19th and early 20th centuries, but I don't see anything about the toning on this coin to tempt me to pay a premium for.
Yes. Axail lighting works well... Though I've heard that just simple diffuse lighting works better for toned coins. True? Not sure. Where's Todd? -Brian
As a collector who does not care for toning, I pay for the grade of the coin, not if it's toned or not so I add no extra premium for toning on top of what the actual grade is. But that's just me!
Even though I like toned coins there are not enough colors on it. Now I'm not saying its got to have rainbow colors but something with a nice eye appeal from a quick glance is good. Overall its a nice looking coin but its not toned enough for any premium.
