Pretty. I like the first actually 4.5 and4.0 for the two

 

3.4
3.2

....both nice mid level toners in my view

 

That seems logical. Mid 3s to low 4s at best.

 

First one I rated a 3.2. I would be out at 3.0 exact but it had really nice luster which made the color really pop!

The second one is a stronger look but doesn't have the coverage needed to be higher so I had it at a 3.7.

 

I feel like I need to recalibrate.

 

No, you are not wrong. If monster standard is only the Moose, then it is virtually impossible for coins to match that coin. So, if that is the absolute standard, then ratings in the 3-4 range for most toned coins is accurate. There is considerable accuracy in the mid ground. Personally, I think the monster category should be 6 and 7, for monster, and ultra monster, but we have already completed evaluation of many coins. My opinion, as someone who has collected specifically toned Morgans from the 1990s to 2016 is that we are rating a bit too low, due to an impossible standard, but as was said—each to their own.

4.5

great color, great coverage, nice textile

 

4.8. Beautiful textile toning. Not too dark, not too light. Subtle, yet intense. I love pastel textile toning. The S Mint early years give us some really nice coins, and this is one.

 

4.5 I really like it

 

4.5 for me as well.

 

4.5

 

4.4

 

I like that one!

I'd say 4.5

The only tiniest of distractions is that black spot in front of her lips. But, the color is great, and I love the pull-away toning at the date and lower stars.

 

We agree completely. Were it not for the black spot, I would have gone 5.0. It is a really beautiful coin—great color transitions.

 

Wow and I of all people didn’t have it that high. 3.8 was my rating. Nice but not super dramatic.

 

Any more? I have a pair of Morgans coming up.
