58+ is a better (cooler) grade than any of the 55-63 guesses, so a big congrats!
MS 62 ...lots of chatter combined with what looks like solid luster
Congrats!
I think it’s a combination of newcomers, people who used to be strictly bullion stackers, and collectors who saw prices on toners going up and...
By growth, I meant more collectors have been seeking these toners out (demand side expanding) and so the prices increase. I was not implying that...
In the "old days" most would dip out toned coins as blast white was favored. By the early 2000s (maybe even the 1990s), toning was already gaining...

The idea is that a straight grade would be worth a lot more. The next best 1890-S toned Morgan that I’ve seen (PCGS ms 64+ without CAC) recently...
Cool addition!
The photos are not terrible. They are perfectly fine. The first one is from a PCGS TrueView and the rest are my own to give more of a balance....
The value isn't in the date; it is only a slightly better date. It is in the color. They just don't show up like this. You basically have 81-S...

I think there is something that just makes the TPGs hesitate. It's not clearly AT (I won't say it's 100% NT, but I would certainly call it market...
I don't see anything like that. Dipped and retoned has a different look than this Morgan.
I still don't think it's AT or cleaned. NGC and PCGS just don't like the coin but there is nothing obviously wrong about it. Some have told me...
It's mostly common dates from what I have seen. There are some high grades though. Here is an excerpt from NGC about the NY Bank Hoard: "The...
The Olathe and New York Bank were two different hoards. The New York Bank hoard was more recent (2018)...per Coin World: "A hoard of 16,000...
I'll say MS 64 ....since you said there is a surprise, I gave it a PL since that designation was looser in the older era (and I see this looks to...
MS 63
I bought 5 quarter sized ones for my ddddd/u1 slabs. They were perfectly fine for my purpose. I tend to use the Lighthouse quickslabs (easy to...
