Well, @BooksB4Coins , that was an entertaining thread.
No, your pictures are quite sufficient. The coin is clearly polished, has a huge palm print on the obverse, and is AU at most. Don't take it out...
Explain your question? I don't know if "most" was the right choice of word, but "some," or "much" are definitely the right ones.
I hate to be a hater... but anyone who feels the need to announce they are leaving a site because they can't handle life probably shouldn't be on...
You are missing the 36 and 37 ;) I am intrigued by the 39O. You don't normally see them toned.
Z, I always look forward to your posts, because they are filled with interesting, unusual (for me), and beautiful coins. This one is no exception.

I have never heard it called draft toning. I have always heard it called pull-away toning. There have been several people say that convincing AT'd...
Huh, I guess the luster is worse than I thought. That seems a bit low, but an in-hand evaluation might be different.
62? What the heck? What is hiding in these pictures that we can't see.
Yes, when I took the picture and saw it on the screen, I thought I was tripping. The devices look like they are floating up off the surface of the...
I have no idea who would do it, or why. But that coin is clearly not a genuine coin. Seriously, have you people never seen a Lincoln cent? That is...
Given how rare these coins are, and how historically significant they appear to be, I'm actually really surprised that the price isn't much...
$200 was my max bid. The other guy quit before we got that high.
I didn't realize Todd was advising GC (And I strongly disagree that he's the best. He's good, but there are plenty of good coin photographers out...
My coin, by the way, is graded 66. @Numismat , do you have pics of any of yours? I'm slowly picking up pieces when I see them. I really like the...
Yeah, that looks like a clash. Clashes are *extremely* common on dimes, even spectacular ones where you can see a large portion of the profile...
What doesn't look normal about it? Looks like your average, natural, scruffy, AU, medium eye appeal Morgan.
No, I don't think so. The toning is unquestionably authentic, but the grade would be too low. I grade this one a 63. The reverse is stunning, and...
Great guesses, everyone! Most people were right around the assigned grade, more or less. NGC called this one 65 PL, and I paid $130 for it. It...
