Is this toning real? Also, how would this coin grade?

Ebay pics not my coin, just eyeballed this one costs $105

I think it's natural toning. Looks like a MS61. NOT worth $105

 

No, that is artificial toning. I would stay away from it. It doesn't look right. There are a number of red flags on this one.

 

Pass. I don't think it's natural either. With toning that dark, there should be a little separation between the devices and the field.

 

OK removed from my bookmarks. I want a rainbow toned morgan so bad, that's why I'm posting these threads

 

We call that "pull-away toning." If it is there, it is a strong indicator that the coin is naturally toned. However, the lack of pull-away toning is not necessarily a sign that it is AT. For example, take a look at this current thread with some gorgeous, natural Morgans. Two of them show no pull-away: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/toned-morgans-gtg.275095/

 

MS63 but goofy looking - not consistent

 

Rainbow Morgans are definitely attractive. If you are less familiar with toned coins, let me strongly suggest that you buy only TPG certified coins. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble and expense while you are learning.

On ebay, 85% of the raw coins have problems - cleaning, AT, or fake (actually 85% is probably a low estimate). You don't want coins like that.

I'd go natural

but probably not slabbable

 

Highly questionable. But, more to the point, it's not attractive toning. Your money would be better spent elsewhere IMO.

 

It's fugly, either way. Pass.
