Did you buy it raw and have it graded? PCGS doesn't value coins then look up the corresponding grade, and to suggest such is just silly. I know you didn't ask, but if you handed me that coin and asked me to appraise it, this would be my answer. The toning while attractive doesn't present in a rainbow progression as a bag toned Morgan Dollar would. In that respect, you will lose some of the potential buyers looking for a rainbow toned coin. That said, the coin is fully enveloped on the obverse and the blue patina is very attractive. The crescent of russet toning on the left may turn off some collectors but the coin should still garner a decent premium and sell in the $175-$225 range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
