    Did u ever love a coin at first sight? This is on eBay with a day left. It's from a reputable dealer. Worn? Yes. But to me its got character. Am I the only one? Lol s96morganobv.jpg s96morganrev.jpg

    I have several in that state. I really prefer those with character like this. Great looking coin.

    Nothing wrong with a '96-S.

    Worn Morgans are very eye appealing and make a great album set!

    I actually like darker toning such as that

    nice, honest old coin - more attractive than those dinged up 'MS' types ;)

    That's what I thought. Great tone and not marked up. It could be my first Morgan since I got back into coins.

    This Morgan has everything going for it as a circulated example. Not that there is anything wrong with a mint state coin that is "blast white," so long as it still has original luster but many are dipped or cleaned. Not to mention that unless a silver coin is stored in a way to protect it from the environment, it is going to tone or react with its environment. I immediately question a blast white coin that is over a hundred years old. I pass on many UNC, blast white coins for these reasons.

    Im not sure about the date position of this coin. Hopefully the photo is just angled as to throw off my attribution. @Dave Waterstraat what say ye??

    Nothing more ugly than a MS60Morgan!

    It does look in between the near date and the very near date positions. Must be the angle and a solar flare...

    So i wasnt imagining things..... that is a cause for concern imo, especially being that the 9 looked skinnier than the other date digits. I would pass and look for another if it were my hard earned cash at stake
