Your not tap danc'in again are you?

 

is three a shuffle?

 

Wow, very interesting. So then answer me this, when they get a Morgan Dollar for example in at NGC or wherever it was sent, what makes them then say, it's naturally toned and not artificially toned like when it also comes to this ASE? The person and their opinion, or does the 13 year age play a roll?

 

One can only speculate.

I personally believe that both factors you mentioned come into play just as the "is this piece deserving" factor. What that means (to me) is that the grader looks at a piece such as this common piece of bullion silver (when you get right down to it that is all it is, bullion) and says to themselves; "If I put this piece into a straight grade holder then the submitter is going to be able to sell it for far more than it *should* sell for and I don't think it is deserving of that".

Then again they (the graders at NGC) could just be aptly more able to detect AT than I.

The latter is probably true.

 

Canada 1961 silver ten cent piece.

 

Probably AT. I inherited it ~ 25 years ago, so my cost was zip.

 

First toned merc. Decided to place it in my 7070.

 

Came out of one of those cardboard Coins of the 20th Century sets.

 

Just back from NGC today.

 

The rest that just returned.

 

Some new GSA Morgans

 

Outstanding color. .!

 

I bought this MS65 quarter eagle a few months ago because I thought it had some interesting green/blues. Still not sure I love it, but going to hang onto it for now.

 

Just got these back from PCGS

 

are those die polish lines or has it been cleaned?

 

Die polish.
