Hey, check out the MONSTER toned Morgan I got at my first ever coin show today!

Russ

Really big scans here:

Monster toned Morgan obverse.

Monster toned Morgan reverse.

Think I can sell this to Anaconda?

That's real pretty. I prefer periph over green monsters etc.

MadMarty

That doesn't look like a Kennedy half, are you branching out???

DHeath

Hey, that looks great. I kinda like the color just inside the rim. Russ, don't get too deep into Morgans, there is no escape from their gravity.

Russ

Marty,

There wasn't squat at this show, but I had to buy something.

Russ, NCNE

Nice Morgie

I'll admit I'm suprised that it's not a JFK. Didn't have any nice ones to choose from? What did you think about the show??


PS. Be careful with those Morgans, they're addictive!!!!

Hey Russ:

Sell it to me - I bumped your nickel up!

DanC

I got to see, and hold, and examine this coin closely today.

It's... well...

not my cup 'o tea, but a very interesting coin nonetheless.

Russ

Frank,

You want to hear something funny about that nickel? The guy who bought it was here at my shop today. He got a chance to see it in person; Tim, aka Osiris, aka 5th ranked proof Kennedy set. We had a great time checking out each others coins.

And Don, he has a 1949 golden toned Jefferson that I know you would want - BAD.

Russ,

That is a BEAUT!

Now that you've found a new love, I'd be glad to make you a ridiculously low offer on your Kennedy set(s).

Clark

Russ

Well, you know, Clark, I just added the last coin to set #2. Now, I'll have to start upgrading it.

Russ, NCNE

Russ, fabulous coin, I just bought a 50 D Jefferson and as soon as I get my Ricoh camera I'll post it.
Very similar toning. For the past few weeks I have tried to buy some of these toned coins. Do you think your Morgan would be graded by PCGS? I'm thinking about sending mine in at some point.

Russ, sorry to burst your bubble but it's AT all the way. You just don't get identical two sided toning very often, and the colors are too loud not to mention not what you normally see on Morgan Dollars . I would hope you didn't pay a whole lot for it so it can be an inexpensive education.

KlectorKid

Very nice coin russ, i have a simaler one but the toning is not as vibrent and the reverse is just golden with some blue around the rim. yours might be AT?

DHeath

Russ,

Do ya think he'd sell it to me, seeing as how I ran that nickel through the roof on him!

andy007

I have to agree with Jon, looks AT

Russ

<< <i>Russ, sorry to burst your bubble but it's AT all the way. >>



You think? Yeah, I knew that. Matter of fact when I bought it, I told the dealer - in a loud enough voice so everyone around could here -"I'll take one of those oven baked Morgans!" Of course, he had some BS song and dance about how he bought them from a dealer he trusts, blah, blah. I told him he could cut the crap, that I was buying it because I thought it was cool.

I'm new, but I'm not stupid. I pay attention to you guys.

Russ, NCNE

DanC

Yep... he REALLY DID do that too. I could hear him from 30 feet away.

Funny thing too was the guy had four of these natural beauties in his display.
After Russ bought it, we circled back around after about 10 minutes.

guess what?

uh-huh... 4 lovely MONSTER TONED Morgans.

Astonishing.

ClarkOfKent

Russ,

I'll trade ya straight up for this:

Russ

Clark,

I'm not sure, but I think I may have already owned that coin.

Russ, NCNE

ClarkOfKent

Must be the climate change between WA and here.... 'cause it toned up beautifully in the last week!

kranky

Russ, how about a post describing your thoughts about your first coin show?

wallstreetman

Heres another reason why Im going to stay away from Toning. When collectors start accepting these AT coins, more will surface, and what do you think is going to happen to the price of naturally toned coins?

osirisMMII

Hey Russ - That freshly baked Morgan looks better now than when I saw it! Is it still changing colors???

Russ

Expert camera work.

Hey Russ,
Glad that you knew it was AT when you purchased it, It's a pretty bullseye, but definitely AT, by the way I have some awsome toned Kennedys that are natually toned, I know this for fact, a couple in 1964 non Mint Set holders that are in Blue cardboard holder with a blue sponge like package underneath the reverse side housed in a plastic holder that can be opened, all the coins have electric colors, I think if I sent the coins in the holder to PCGS they would slab, but if I sent them individually they would probably body bag them because the colors are so intense. I purchased these in the early 70's, all the coins have beautiful colors, I am trying to get a scanner now so that I can post some of my Toners. I dont know much about Kennedys, may need your help someday.
Thanks
Allen
