Very attractive 63! Now we just need you to spend some money on camera equip. ;)
Great coin for a 61!
Thanks Toad, but I'm well aware of the differences between the hairstyles and the varieties you mention. That said, I'm not willing to presume...

If you are just getting started with toned coins, I would strongly suggest you begin your education by collecting mint sets from the mid to late...
Here's an XF morgan dollar (or at least what PCGS graded XF 45): [img] [img] The obverse has about 15% luster, and the reverse about 25% luster,...
That seems odd. SEGS typically does a good job attributing these coins -- or at least I can't recall seeing a misattributed coin in an SEGS...
The blow-up sure helps! I suspect that the light reflecting off this rim disturbance is making it look worse than it appears in-hand.

Yes, XF coins should have luster. "A lot" is difficult to quantify, but typically XF coins have between 50% and 10% luster left, depending on the...
That's what I was talking about with my "sky blue" comment above. You very frequently see NT coins with this coloration - and it is interesting...
Leave the poll off next time. I think the choices may have affected who voted what. Lot of coin for AU money, regardless.
:eek: Thanks for the tip....
I use a large spreadsheet. Ruben will be happy to hear it's Open Office. ;)
FWIW, the fields and reverse are clean enough for a 65, but the cheek on the 2nd coin make me scratch my head on the 65 grade.
Consistently overgrading, perhaps. Just call me an optimist. :) In all seriousness, I can't tell from the photos if this is toning, wear, or...
Nice proof, however I'll wager that coin is NOT graded MS 69. ;) ...Mike p.s. I can't participate in this thread as I have no 1 of 1 coins. :(
