<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 5299010, member: 73165&quot;]For the 1882-S Morgan, I have to say this coin has a lot going for it.&nbsp; There are some nice transitions on the right side, and a good amount of green, which is always nice.&nbsp; The colors on the right side are vibrant, and I could easily see this coin being considered a monster if that type of coloring extended throughout the entire obverse.&nbsp; This coin should also literally be the plate coin illustrating pull away toning, which is always nice to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you move past that crescent of vibrancy from about 12:30 to 6:30, then the coin has less going for it.&nbsp; Given that the entire obverse isn&#039;t blanketed with color, I do like the fact that somehow, there is little to no color on about half of Liberty&#039;s hair.&nbsp; We also have some transitions from yellows to blues, with a hint of burgundy and the continuation of pull away toning on the stars.&nbsp; And, of course, in terms of toning, the reverse is just a solid &quot;meh.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I would totally own this coin.&nbsp; Take everything I just said, and then put it in an MS-65 rattler with a CAC sticker, and you&#039;ve got a winner.</p><p><br /></p><p>In pure color terms, I&#039;d call this a 4.8.&nbsp; IMO, it&#039;s held back by the relative lack of vibrancy on the face, and, compared to the late 2nd into 3rd cycle toning on the right, those 1st cycle blues are not doing it any favors.&nbsp; In fact, it may have made a better impression were the left side the more vibrantly toned one, simply because that&#039;s where the prime focal points of the coin are.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would definitely pay a pretty good premium for this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
