    Is that 1909 considered the color red? Because it looks like it is brilliantly uncirculated.

    Not sure if it would go Red or RB. Has some toning. Not sure if a cleaning at one time but sure looks UNC. Wondering what other peoples opinion is by looking at the pictures.

    Beautiful Morgans @Shrews1994 . Normally I could care less about modern coins, but Morgans really get my heart pumping. It really is an impressive coin. Almost gives ancient Greek tetradrachms a run for the money.

    The 09' VDB looks like it could go RD but the toning in the right field would most likely put it into RB.
    That's a pretty well struck Lincoln.
    Nice!

    The dot between D and B looks pretty much centered, are the rims square on that 09 VDB cent?

    Nothing wrong with a modern coin such as a Morgan looking great. 110+ years isn't really such a long time. Heck, you can find 1800+ year old coins that look fantastic.....

    So why can't a modern coin like a Morgan Dollar look fantastic too? And unlike the coin above which definitely was cleaned at some point, I don't see why a young coin that's only a century old couldn't have naturally remained bright. Granted, some toning would be the norm, but I can imagine certain circumstances where a new coin such as a Morgan Dollar could remain bright over the last 100 years.
