<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1286020, member: 26030&quot;]I bought this Morgan on approval a few days ago.&nbsp; I thought the color/toning was really pretty, but wanted to examine it in hand before I decided if this was a keeper.&nbsp; It does have a very unusual lighter stripe down the middle on the obverse. At first I thought it was end of roll toning, but the pattern isn&#039;t right. Now I wonder if a piece of paper was laying on the coin for a while?&nbsp; The left edge is sharp but the right edge is fuzzier and doesnt extend all the way down the coin (which I think reduces the chances this mark was from scotch tape).&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s interesting that the colorful rainbow rim toning on the obverse bottom left worked its way through the left edge of the stripe -- so I know the rainbow rim the toning took place after what ever obstruction that was there was removed.&nbsp; In any case, I thought this coin was pretty and unusual.&nbsp; I think this would have had a shot at a higher grade (just look how clean the cheek is) but was downgraded (perhaps?) for the stripe?&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the coin itself is a very solid MS64 and might have even had a shot at an MS65. </p><p><br /></p><p>So how do you all vote?&nbsp; Do you like or not like?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]143333.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
