It looks fake even to my newbie eye.

The toning colors don't look like they're in the right order.

I will venture a guess and say it's naturaly toned, and original...............natural chemicals and an original coin.

Say hello to easyman...aka bbycoin.

Gsaguy,

I just found the auction. You nailed it.

I cant give you a technical analysis, but my instincts and 30 years of collecting

would make me pass on that coin ,at any price.It just seems to raise the hair on my neck.

Russ,

I'm living proof that even a blind hog can find an acorn every once in a while.

Seriously, his work is unmistakeable.

100% AT. No question. Looks like the work of easyman to me too.

Is my shirt getting too big or is it my flesh crawling at seeing that pic?

Baley

you know what, that is a scary coin.
why? no, not just because it's AT, which it is very likely is, due to the irregular border of the color.

no, I find that coin scary because the color progression and blending look pretty darned good.

I'll wager that if that was in a pcgs holder, we'd all be speculating about it laying under a crease in the bag or something.

If i owned any super natural looking monster bag toned morgans, I'd be selling those suckers before the character who did this coin, or some other doc, gets the process down pat.

but of course, I don't pay huge premiums for color, nor for one point ga ga grades, so all I have to worry about is someone's ability to counterfeit fine and very fine draped bust coins, and so far, none of the ground down gallery mint 1796 quarters out there have fooled me

Is the Pope Catholic? Does a squirrel have climbing gear? Is this Morgan AT? Three questions, same answer

I recall seeing very similar pieces recently on E-bay from a single seller with a rating of ZERO! Yet, these pieces have cycled around before. So, whoever is offering them clearly has changed his ID. I wonder why?

Baley, I am going to have to disagree with you. I don't think it is all that good a job. Natural, bag toned Morgans just do not have those colors. I will agree that he is improving his technique, but he is nowhere near fooling those of us who are experienced with bag toned Morgans.

Does Bear wipe his butt with a rabbit. Plus with the gash on the cheek, I would pass if it wasn't AT..

dorkkarl

it is a-t, & for me, market unacceptable.
