<p>[QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 8568982, member: 97258"]I would say a 3 or 4 on the scale 1-6, it has a nice gradient but doesn't have those rainbow bands, this is more of a smooth toned coin. The grade isn't bad but monsters need 64, 65 or more. Monsters are pretty much everything that is appealing on a coin, so a strong strike, rainbow toning, interesting patterns (double crescent, end roll, textile), bright luster, high grade, etc. The perfect monster toned Morgan would be MS67+, proof like, bowl luster, super sharp details, CC and rarer date, double crescent textile rainbow toned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a few examples that are a bit more realistic (not mine, although I wish...). Last one is probably an example of a perfect monster, it's an NGC MS68 star, with a CAC green bean, double sided toning, perfect luster. Anyway, main key to getting knowledgeable when it comes to toned Morgans is just researching a lot, observing, and most importantly, buying a lot of them and getting better at spotting key things that makes a coin desirable.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1511254[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1511255[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1511256[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
