<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 801107, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m no expert on toned Morgans but I have bought a few and watched a lot of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; The value is very subjective and can vary from week to week and day to day.&nbsp; You might get more for them next week than you can get today.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s no definitive answer or price guide to follow.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s really based on how dramatic the toning is on the coin, the quality and how the colors play out.&nbsp; &nbsp; Your coins show the common color progression of bag toned morgans.&nbsp; Especially the last two pics of that reverse.&nbsp;&nbsp; It can be very hard to photograph.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; The reason the last one has the weird patch on it is because many Morgans sat in burlap bags at the mints unused, for decades.&nbsp;&nbsp; They were govt. mandated to be produced but not needed for circulation.&nbsp; That is the short story.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The parts of the coins that came in contact with the burlap bags ended up having a chemical reaction take place on the surface of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any parts of the coin that was covered up and protected by other coins in the bag, did not tone.&nbsp; The protected areas remain bright, shiny silver.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; So looking at the reverse on the bottom pics, it would appear that another coin overlapped most of it and another overlapped it from the side.&nbsp; Leaving that small portion to tone against the bag.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It has the nice, typical color pattern but it is a small patch, which would most likely cause it to have a small premium over it&#039;s normal price.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I do really like it though.&nbsp; I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve ever seen one with a little area like that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d be happy to own it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; But, basically, for someone&#039;s first toned coin, they would probably be very happy with it.&nbsp; Regular toning enthusiasts may not be as interested with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; It probably wouldn&#039;t have a high demand on the market, which like I said, would likely lead to a small premium.&nbsp; But who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The top two could fetch a reasonable premium.&nbsp; &nbsp; If slabbed, I&#039;d say $100 each wouldn&#039;t be out of the question.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe more.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Are you selling the bottom one?&nbsp; What date is it?&nbsp; If you are looking to sell it, shoot me a PM.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think it&#039;s pretty cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
