<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4787403, member: 37839"]If it were a 65, that coin would have gone for $5,000 plus in an auction of serious toned coin collectors. When one gets into the 1891-1896 ballpark, we are talking about good-better-best date Morgans. It was undoubtedly market graded to keep the price under the gem level. I also agree that toning and surface preservation criteria are very different for the 3 mints (not considering Denver, as all we have is the 1921 D). Philadelphia coins do not tone as vividly, for the most part, as the storage was much drier than New Orleans or San Francisco. Most of the vivid textile toned rainbow coins are “o” mint, as the storage was damp, humid, and haphazard. Philadelphia coins in general have better strikes, although not as strong as the 1879-1889 S mint Morgans. So, there are many variables.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
