    Ah yes, a warm mixture of lovely pastel colors. NICE!

    That's the way I feel every month when the credit card bill comes in and I look at how much I've spent on coins!

    Is it in a slab? I'm planning to submit my orange Merc to see if it's natural toning. image

    CThomas,
    That is disgusting! Rather than risk being discovered in posession of such a horribly disfigured piece, send it to me, and I will SAFEly dispose of it for you (in other words, I'll dispose of it in my safe image. Since you're a forum member, I offer this service at no charge image

    CThomas,

    I could very easily become a Merc collector if they all looked like that. She's a babe and, to my eye, much more attractive than a lot of the "MONSTER RAINBOW" Morgans that come up.

    (Note to Morgan collectors: I did NOT say that the Morgans were ugly, just that I like the toning on this Merc very much).

    Um, am I missing something?
    that first merc posted looks bleached, and the second one, the gold one, look baked.
    were the other replies before mine being sarcastic and I didn't pick up on the emoticons?

    I've got a 43D that's probably MS67FB that looks strikingly similar - PCGS sent it back w "Questionable Toning". Still looks ok to me in the flip.

    Possible NCS candidate. , although the 43D is the most common date in split bands. , if you
    think 67FB, go for it.

    I don't know about Steve's, but the original one, the first one posted, is album toning- no jokes.
