The Monster Toned Coin Game Thread

Seems CAC and PCGS like to give coins a pass that are colorful. That is a LOT of face chatter for an MS65 graded coin IMO.

Yup, comes from the canvas bags these were stored in. Often considered a positive thing to toning lovers.

 

Good info. Thanks

 

@brg5658 at times the TPGs and CAC can be very loose with grading colorful Morgans. I've seen my fair share of questionable grades (none when I sent coins in though ). This example I'm ok with.
See the thread below for a real head-scratcher:
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-morgan-toner.344695/

(the second page of that thread also has an example that I owned which was favorably graded, but I bought it that way...and sold it).

 

Taste the rainbow

 

Yes sir

 

That's freaking crazy. Good eye.

 

Yeah, you are right. Without the toning, it is no better than 64.

 

Wow, that is a 65+?

 

Junk

 

That thing is a gorgon, look it in the eye an you will turn to stone.

 

Yes sir, it was a cleaned CC.

 

Cc a horrible at job I give Morgandudes a 5.9. I love the colors of it actually

^Rds. 54 & 55 are potentially pixelated pictures, which likely skewed the results

Floor is open...

 

4.8 I like the greens and pinks. Almost has a textile toned look on the obverse. T on the slab to boot. Looks like a 5FS to me.

 

I agree with all that @kSigSteve said and offer a similar score of 4.9

 

5 even. Love it
