    The Toning is terminal on this one. It might have been a monster toned coin at one time.

    I called this one "Darth Morgan" (Gone to the Dark Side)

    It looks pretty clean to my eye, I'd wager it's in a 65 holder.

    Im forgiving when it comes to rim dings on Morgans. On a quarter/nickel/dime/cent
    Not so much

    Oh goodness. I'd kill to have that Morgan! Incredible! Funny, my user name on CCF is Darth Morgan. Hehe.

    It's for sale, right? :D

    Well surprisingly here is the grade. When I first saw it, I thought it was a MS64 myself. I thought it was so ugly, the first time I saw it on the auction and the more I looked at it, the uglier it got, until finally, I knew I had to have:

    I'm astounded. When I put 63, I thought I wouldn't be surprised if it wound up in a 64 holder, but 66?

    I'm not surprised. It's pretty clean and I bet it has nice luster still.
