For my score I give my coin a 4. For copper collectors that is an exquisite piece. There are of course others that have better toning.

 

I call next with another Morgan.

 

I'm a 3.5 on the proof Lincoln Cent.

@Morgandude11 you are up

 

Ok, another green Morgan. No longer my coin; it was mine in 2009-2012.

 

Going 5.9...really really like it but something holds me back a bit. Maybe it looks a bit lackluster on the obverse for one thing.

 

Here are some better photos:

 

I'll give the Morgan a 6. I love the spectrum of colors on the obverse.

 

5.7, if it were a little cleaner, I'd give it monster status.

 

I'm with @longshot ....I went back and forth but ended up at 5.9

 

5.5 for me. I think this one being a 63 keeps it lower on the scale. This coin in 65 would be a 6 in my eyes because the color would shine through the luster more and would have less contact marks and therefore more eye appeal.

 

I agree. I think the grade impacts the eye appeal enough to make it not a raging beast. If it were a 65, with a cleaner obverse, I would say mid sixes. Because of the noticeable hits on the obverse, I would go 5.8. The colors are great, as I remember, and it has the color of a monster. It did not sell for a huge premium—it was more in the $1000 price range.

 

Count me in at 5.5 on that one ☝️

 

I’m at 5.5 on the Morgan.

 

After reading a few of the inputs, I decided to look at my Morgans. What I found is that several of them have a little of color around the edge of the coins. Does that mean that they will progress to have more color as they age. I have them in plastic holders and they snap tight when I put them into the holder. I've only taken a couple out to look closer at them. Thanks for all you do.

 

If they are in plastic holders, (a good choice), toning progression should be very slow. Also, the rainbow colors in this thread came about because the coins spent time in a very specific environment, you cannot expect your coins to tone in the same way.

As mentioned by @longshot , it is unlikely that the color will significantly progress unless those holders have something in them (paper label) or are stored in certain environments (humid, on a windowsill, near wood, etc...).
