<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2700083, member: 37839"]Just as an experiment, and definitely NOT for any other purposes, I decided to buy the most generic uncirculated Morgan common date off of the internet from a reliable dealer. This coin is nice and frosty, but has some bag marks in a few prominent places that keep it from being a gem. I would probably grade it as a high MS 63, or possibly a low 64. It is very well struck, and has a reverse that is quite reflective. The obverse is very frosty, with some noticeable cheek bag marks. It is on a white paper backing. What my intentions are is to tone it, not using any chemicals. I am going to give it the "windowsill treatment" for a couple of weeks, during the very sunny Florida Spring. BE ADVISED that I have no intentions of selling it, and am very well aware, as an experienced Morgan Collector that this is artificial toning. I follow the numismatic code, and would not attempt to deceive by selling an AT coin--this is a fun idea. It will NOT be resold, or, obviously, no attempts will be made to slab it, as I am certain it will not certify. I just want to see what will come out of this fun project. There will be progress photographs, as it tones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin in question:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]607578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]607579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
