GTG 1896 Morgan

Some guys like stick chicks and some guys like big girls. Some women like skinny guys and some women like husky men. Some coin folks like blast white but I like unique.

The obverse is tough to read cause of that "crackled???" toning. Very neat looking. Hair above the ear looks flat. Slider maybe?

My first thought was MS-63 so that's what I will go with

 

To each his own! MS63

64

 

I don't even want to take a guess. Sorry, not my taste. My first impression was . Sorry, don't take it personal! It just looks like a problem coin to me. I'm not an expect though. Is that natural toning? It looks like it's been sitting between something for years. Something with a pattern, a cushion? Plastic? Material? An old coat pocket? Styrofoam?

 

What is that blot on the obverse, you suppose?

 

I don't think it's AT or else it would have been graded authentic but artificial
toning.

It's hard to tell what created the pattern. Styrofoam is a good guess. Maybe a bag of some type too?

 

1896 is a common enough date that you don't need to take on a possible problem coin if you don't already own it.

 

The pattern looks almost like a honeycomb of sorts but the compartments are round rather than hexagonal.

This one is super tough to read. But it looks fairly clean, I'm at a 64 on it for weak strike and enough rash in the fields and the few hits on the cheek.

 

Details, schmutz.

 

Looks like a golf ball lol

 

Ever thought of cracking it out and dipping it?

 

Dipping is too dangerous for this coin


DAMN. That would be cool if it was an 87p vam 12 (vammers will get the joke)

As for grade, might have pulled a 64

 

MS-63

I don't like the toning either. It may be natural, but it's not attractive.

 

That is definitely unique. I like unique but find it impossible to grade based on a static photo.

 

MS-64 ...what's important is that you like it!

 

I'm going with 64. I suspect the surfaces are worthy of a 65, but the unique toning (which I kind of like, but definitely doesn't add to the grade) might have knocked it down a notch.

 

I like it...obverse looks like a wallet made of reptile...I say ms62

 

Sooooo???
