Well, I'm not a toned Morgan virgin any more.image This just in:

Well, what do the experts think? Is it real, or is it Memorex?

If you'd like to see larger scans, here they are:

Large obverse.

Large reverse.

Warning for dialupers: When I said large, I meant large!

    Russ - I am no expert on this, but it looks like a 3 dollar bill.

    I'm sorry but I don't really like it and think it AU also.

    Tom,

    Nothing to be sorry about, I think it's ugly. I only grabbed it for photo practice.

  • I can't tell if it's AT or not, but it doesn't look right. The color progression is...weird. Especially on the reverse, where it almost looks like it was painted on. I don't know if it's the picture ot not, but it also looks like it may have been cleaned or whizzed, and I think it may be slightly circulated, too.

    Russ - When a coin gets to look like that, would it be OK to just shoot it. image

    I hope you don't get offended or your feelings hurt but since you asked..........I think it's a MS60 that has been in a coin envelope for a while. Some people might call that original and some might call that AT but I think PCGS would NG it since it's not obvious bag or album tone. Other than that funky blue & purple place on rev nothing really screams out AT. It's not a bad looking coin but I see where people that specialize in toned coins like TomB wouldn't find it attractive.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    From the images, it looks really flat too, no luster is coming through...
