[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1149024, member: 112"]Guys - I think the point that both of you are missing, and thus your disagreement, is this. Bag toned Morgans do look like that, and bag toned Morgans do not look like that. So how can something so contradictory be true ? Very easy. All you have to do is look at the same coin in a picture, and in hand. In pictures, especially in pictures taken for the purpose of an auction, or when a collector is trying to show off his new coin, the color of the coin is the primary goal so as to show the coin in its best light. So those are the pictures they show you. But if you viewed that same coin in hand the colors would look dull, flat and dark for the most part. However, if you took the time to hold that coin under a light and turn, twist it until it caught the light in just the right way - then you would see those same vibrant colors that you see in the pictures. But you will only see them at one very specific angle. And if you never hold the coin at just that specific angle - you will never see those vibrant colors. That is why you can have two people have a disagreement just like you two are. What both of you are saying is true. Sounds weird I know, but it is.[/QUOTE]
