<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 425228, member: 15309&quot;]The color progression is right (yellow-magenta-cyan) but the coin overall displays both elements of AT and NT.&nbsp; Although the color progression is OK, the blue color on the obverse is very unusual.&nbsp; There are lines in the left obverse field that appear like something was brushed on the coin.&nbsp; The toning creeps up on to the lettering and stars on both sides in some spots which is traditionally known as an indicator of AT.&nbsp; I can&#039;t definitively say that this coin is AT or NT, but my opinion is that it is AT because the colors just don&#039;t look right to me.&nbsp; I am forming this opinion made from a mediocre photo which was taken at an angle which can drastically change the appearance of the color.</p><p><br /></p><p>When presented with a coin of questionable toning, the deciding factor for me is always whether or not the coin is graded.&nbsp; I would never buy a raw toned coin at a premium that I was not extremely confident that it was NT.&nbsp; If you submit the coin and it bags, you will take a considerable loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that, the price of this coin is outrageous.&nbsp; This is an MS64 at best which is a $50 coin.&nbsp; The seller is charging roughly 7X bid price.&nbsp; There is no way this coin is worth that type of premium even if the toning is NT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please do not buy this coin.&nbsp; There are many other graded rainbow toned Morgan Dollars on the market with much nicer toning at much better prices.&nbsp; My guess is that you posted this thread because on some level you suspect the coin to be AT.&nbsp; My advice to you is never purchase a raw toned coin unless you are confident that it is NT.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, look at the sellers feedback.&nbsp; He is not an established coin dealer on E-Bay and some of his other coins also look a little suspect.&nbsp; Run away from this coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
