Questions for you Morgan litesiders

ajaanajaan Posts: 17,613 ✭✭✭✭✭
Although I usually only collect darkside coins, mainly English and Canadian, I do on very rare occasions pick up a US coin. Recently I bought the coin pictured below. What is the approx. value of this coin? Is the toning craze over? Any replies and opinions is greatly appreciated. I should mention the obverse is mainly white with just a slight cresent of colorful toning on the rim from 1:00-2:00.

    Wow, beautiful coin!
    1888 is a common date, but its hard to tell the value (or condition) by just seeing the reverse. Do you know the grade (MS64 perhaps)?
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

  • Though 1888 is a common Morgan, because the toning craze is still alive and well,
    that coin could fetch $100. IMO.
