Toned coins can be pricey, but they don't have to break the bank. I snagged this one on the Bay last week. [ATTACH] It is an MS64 in a secure...
One of the misunderstood things is how this happens and what is actually on the coin that creates the color. That is why I think the work by Doug...
And when it sold it sold for BIG bucks! Just the 1880-S sold for over $35,000, so maybe toned coins are worth a little study.
This might peak your interest in toned Morgans...
Good point, marketing is often about perception.
You may be right if not already slabbed, but this one was already in a PCGS holder. I restrict my PL/DMPL purchases to those because I know the...
I like to have them done with little to no reflectivity, just field contrast to the devices [ATTACH] It seems to me that this is more indicative...
The web site went down before I could post this coin. It is a favorite of mine because of the pattern and it is a higher grade MS65+ for the...
No problem with debate on toned coins on the toned coins thread. But name calling and getting way off into conversations bashing TPGs and...

We keep some good educational information here for our own reminder and to help others. The best study we have seen was done by Doug Kurz who...
Just picked this one from eBay for $22 [ATTACH] Yes it is a good old VAM 1D Flaky Eye - Hit List 40 - WOW VAM
I don't quite remember where I found this link, but this is a great resource for information on coins, paper money, etc....
If you would like to see 750 Morgans all arranged by grade from PO-01 to MS65DMPL, with all intermediate grades, check out here...
A truly stunning collection and I was not surprised that it brought significant premiums. There are a lot of toned Morgan collectors and I have...
All true, and that is what drives many collectors to collect. It is much more than just filling a hole in an album, or should be. When this isn't...
Interesting, in some Morgans you can get striations caused by the draw table as the metal was thinned to make the planchets. If it results in a...
I think this is a teaching moment. The color on the 27 Abe runs in the same direction on both sides, so I assume it was in contact with a surface...
