I bought this one in a roll about 3 years ago. Put it in an album and boy did it go to town.

 

Is for sale if anyone is interested

 

I like the colors on this EOR.

 

Vam 11A from the same roll.

 

New addition for me. A well worn, but very pleasing example of a harder date:

 

Stunning coin. In a rattler too.

I recognized this coin looking through some famous toned collections. This coin is originally from the “colorbombed” collection:

“The Colorbombed Collection is another world-class collection featuring a wide variety of type coins with incredible toning. Although it consists primarily of stunning toned Morgan Dollars, it also includes a group of toned Roosevelt Dimes, Mercury Dimes, Barber Half Dollars, Franklin Half Dollars, and a few other type coins (including a couple international coins). The collection also features an amazing set of toned Morgan Dollars housed in original PCGS rattler holders.”

...crazy cool!

 

Yes it was. I own 5 of the Ex-Colorbombed coins. They were sold at auction in Las Vegas in 2012 at the Legacy Auctions. I owned 5 others, and they are now owned by another famous collector in Naples, Florida.

 

When did toning become a plus for Morgans (and other U.S. coins) ? Maybe it was looked down upon in the 1950's and 1960's because coins hadn't toned yet ?

Me personally, I prefer blast white but some of the multi-colored Morgans do kind of grow on you. Others look like rust or just discoloration.

 

I, too, prefer blast white, but a light toning can be attractive. I do like NT over AT though.

 

Wouldn't AT be considered cleaning and destroying the coin's value ?

Do sellers actually advertise a coin as being AT ?

 

I haven't seen anyone advertising a coin as having AT, so it's up to you to ask yourself "Is it real, or is it...?". But you have to know how to tell the difference. And old enough to finish the quote I started!

 

There are sellers who are honest and will advertise the fact that the coin is AT or QT. I shy away from selling raw AT coins on eBay because it gives the impression that you are a coin doctor, whether you provide a disclaimer or not.

I am about to list several AT coins that were deemed QT by PCGS. I told the members of this forum that they were AT in a thread a while back, the overwhelming response I got was that people thought they NT and they convinced me to send them in. If I could only find the thread, I would be serving up a big dish of I told you so.

PS. Memorex, and I'm not that old (under 50).

 

What's QT ? Sorry for the ignorance.

 

Questionable Toning

 

Nothing fancy, just a couple nice Morgan's.
