PCGS so-called "true"views are almost always over saturated, and always far more red than reality. I'll bet in hand this coin is quite attractive...
There have been literally millions of Morgan dollars graded between the top TPGs. 13,000 is nothing, unless they are very rare dates or grades....

That toning looks perfectly natural to me. Looks like the sort of thing that a coin stored in an album would develop. Given that many people used...

Total, complete, and absolute speculation: This does not appear to be hub doubling. It doesn't have the appearance of a doubled die. This...
I'm not entirely sure what this is, just from these pictures, but I'm not convinced it is MDD. It isn't flat and shelflike at all. I would...
