Here's a chance for you to pick on my coins......
No, that's not mildew.
What can I say, I like weird Morgans. It's an endroller.
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Nothing wrong with that coin at all, why would anyone want to pick on it? It's just a typical endroll toned piece. Also a very clear pic, is that a scanner or digital camera?

    Dog97- very nice original looking tone! I really like the look of that one also. I would pick your coin over a bright white one any day.

    Dragon I was giving the members a chance to pick on a coin of mine since I am so critical of the coins they posted here. image
    It was scanned with a HP4200C with the top of the slab propped on a pencil and saved straight from the scanner. No editing software was used. The coin is more lusterous than the pict shows.
    Here's a pict of the whole slab FLAT on the scanner bed. It looks like Hersey Planchet. The pencil prop really helps.

    Right on Dog,

    It's ugly!image

    Looks like one of my first attempts at natural toning - baking the coin in a buttered potato for several hours!
  • Mr.Dog,
    That coin has a natural beauty that only comes with age.
    I personaly like it and look for coins like it.I would agree with the grade given.
    What do you find wrong with it.image

    Pretty Obverse and a Very,Very Ho Hum Reverse. image
  • It's dull, it's lifeless, it's ugly, and the colors don't do anything for me.

    Reminds me of a lot of stuff in my deposit box. image

    Well I can see how some may think it would be ugly, really, not for me, but I can appreciate that coins uniqueness, coming from the end of a roll. It's a neat piece that you don't see all too often, or at least I haven't seen them all too often. image

    Dog,

    Personally, the colors are too 'soft' for me. I prefer rather sharp lines on end roll toned pieces.

    However, what counts is that YOU like the coin....and you're the only one that matters.

    P.S. I've attached a scan of an end roll toned 91-CC that is one of my favorites.

  • That's a very ugly coin Bryan - send it to me and I'll put you out of your misery image
  • I've seen that coin somewhere, I think, GSA. Where did you find it or purchase it? I remember seeing a coin just like that with the same toning pattern around the ear.

    Ah Ha, Now I've been waiting for this one, to pick on big dogs coins.
    I just got off a tough days work so I don't have the time just yet.
    This will take a bit to tear this coin up. But so far it looks like a lifeless junky toned barber. And I sure hope it looks better than the scan shows.image

    Oh wait a minute I sound like dog97.

    LW,

    I bought that coin a good while back from you know who......Anaconda! When I saw it on his website I jumped on it like a chicken on a June bug.

    CC dollars that are end roll toned are quite rare. Those with beautiful colors are even more rare and I buy them when I find them. Unfortunately, I don't find them often.

    I've also got a super 90-CC that is end roll toned. I cracked it out of an NGC MS66 holder and put in my toned CC set.

    Okay , back to this ugly, lifeless, junky barber looking toned morgan dollar.

    At first look I would expect a original toned morgan to have some more color even though it's an end roll. First off what bothers me is it looks like she has a mole growing out, a little down from corner of lip in cheek area. The rim at 12:00 looks kind of distracting I'm sure it's just the scan but looks kind of dinged. Also I know this is a O mint and the weak strikes are common but hair over ear is still flat.

    Rev some hits in field above eagle and a dark spot on rev that bothers me. Eagles breast flat again, normal for this mint but I still don't like it thats why I don't buy O mint morgans. Overall strong for the grade from scan and not too much to knock.

    Nice coin, Now I sure hope you are not a hacker and find out where I live.imageimage
