<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1500639, member: 37839"]I agree that Shane's pictures are representative of extremely typical toning patters of Morgans (having collected and observed Morgans for over 30 years). That bright "neon" look on the obverse is not AT--that is typical bag/coin reaction, and is oft observed, especially with "O" mint Morgans, due to extremely humid conditions upon storage. I don't think that there is anything evident in the picture of the coin that I posted as OP that would indicate anything but normal, natural toning, but rather spectacular in nature. Do people perhaps "over pay" for that type of toning? Yes sometimes. The ones I got from Shane/Kryptonite went for a very fair price in auction, with a modest premium for toning, and that is how it normally goes. DO some folks let reason go out the window with toning? Sure, but then again, I know folks who have paid over $100,000 for a car, that is no better functioning than a Honda or Toyota. They are paying for exclusivity, and same goes to the ultra high premiums for extreme toning--it is an exclusivity thing, and many like that. Matter of taste--some would rather have a circulated 89cc for that kind of money, and that is their choice to do so. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
