<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1022266, member: 27225&quot;]I&#039;m really a novice at coin collecting. I have about 10 Morgans in various grades, but none of them are toned. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, since I prefer BU coins over all others. I think the Morgan is arguably the prettiest coin produced. I&#039;d not pay $40 for this coin ungraded, as to me the toning detracts from the overall beauty. 1882s is fairly common and I have one that is BU ungraded. I believe I paid $20.00 for it a couple of years ago. If I had to put a guess on your cost, I&#039;d guess $280.00 depending on when you bought it. Since this is intended to teach, perhaps someone would explain what toning is and how it differs from tarnishing, and why some desire it? I&#039;ve seen a number of them offered on various satellite TV channels. I&#039;d also like to know what slabbed coins mean. I am guessing that slabbed coins are ones that have been graded?&nbsp; By the way, I&#039;m listed as a Junior Member, does anyone know what this means?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
