Thoughts on this toned Gold Indian Eagle?

What did one horse say to the other... Nah

You'll definitely have to post pics once you get it. From the original pictures you posted, I think it's gorgeous. Now the question becomes, how much did the seller change the picture contrast when taking it.

 

Yeah no way you could live with yourself passing on a coin like this, glad you got it. Hope it looks great in hand

 

Beautiful.

 

I think at certain angles it will be close to this in hand. Sure, it will look different in other angles/light, but I think it will still be unique and attractive. I think he said whoever takes pics for CRO coins took these pictures.

 

Umm, don't you know you should come to ME first with any toned gold?!?

 

Lol. You weren’t at the show I sold it at and it was before I showed back up here

 

This doesn't have an appearance like much of the toned gold I've seen. Toned gold doesn't usually have that smooth, uniform appearance, because the gold isn't what's toning - it's the silver and copper in the alloy. Gold usually tones in a different way than a Morgan. If you were to hand this coin to me raw, I'd probably call it processed/altered/artifically toned every single time.

I'm very curious to see different/better pictures!

 

@ToughCOINS does this one look unnatural to you? I was told it was most likely manipulated with heat to get the color it has (Which doesn't bother me at all, I love the coin regardless)

 

Thanks, good to know what to look for. I love gold with character but of course prefer it to not be man made character.

The annoying thing with this one is they messed with a pretty conditionally scarce coin.

 

Update: I sold the coin the same day it arrived. I probably should have held off for a better offer. Here are a few of my pictures, which are not great, I know. Also, look at the link for a short video of it in hand.
