<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2964084, member: 27832&quot;]It&#039;s coin-show weekend here in central NC, and along with the usual load of generic 90%, I took a couple of Morgan toners to offer to my favorite dealer-buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>One has quite a lot of color on the obverse, and in the dealer&#039;s opinion (which I trust) is about MS61. The other has less colorful toning, but some distinct pull-away at the date, and he graded it around 63.</p><p><br /></p><p>We didn&#039;t meet on a price, but one of his comments surprised me: he said he wasn&#039;t seeing as much demand for color as he did a few years ago. In his experience, toners tend to get admired, but not bought, so he doesn&#039;t really want more for his inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone else agree that the market is cooling? I trust this guy completely, but I also know that his experience isn&#039;t necessarily universal.</p><p><br /></p><p>For full disclosure, here&#039;s the obverse of the first coin in question. The reverse has only some very light, patchy brownish toning around the rim and devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]726033[/ATTACH] </p><p>I certainly don&#039;t think this is a monster in terms of eye appeal, and it&#039;s not high MS, but it is colorful, I don&#039;t <i>think</i> it&#039;s been messed with (and neither did he), and it&#039;s not approaching terminal anywhere as best I can tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
