1898-o Morgan proof like

TONEDDOLLARS

I have been trying for quite sometime to capture the mirrors of this coin. Most of my pictures make it look non proof like. I think I may have hit on something with this new picture. Do you like the difference?

K6AZ

That's a pretty coin. I like the first picture better, though it is overexposed just a tad. I'm partial to that type of peripheral toning.

K6AZ

That is, the peripheral golden toning. I see the center has a bluish color. Very nice.

Louis

I like the first picture also, nice coin.

Louis

I have one similar, but the pictures stink.

K6AZ

That's a pretty one too Louis.

sTONER

both are sweeeet 98-0,s you guys,, i have one with a blue obverse,, i got to get my bros camera

TONEDDOLLARS

Nice coin louis, I bought mine raw in a kraft envolope along with two others,and it took Five submittals and a phone call to finally get it graded.

Louis

Were the others as nice ?

K6AZ

You're kidding me? PCGS bagged that four times?

Stuart

TonedDollars: That's a very eye catching and nicely toned 1898-O which appears to be PL on the obverse. I am assuming that the reverse is not as reflective or the coin would have very likely graded MS-64 PL..

TONEDDOLLARS

Stuart, The reverse is even more proof like. I bought that one along with a 1882-s that they did give the pl to and a 00-o that they have refused to this day to grade.

K6AZ Twice by PCGS and twice by NGC

K6AZ

That's incredible. Unless I'm really missing something, that is NT all day long. Well, at least it finally did get in a holder.

TONEDDOLLARS

Believe it or not, it took a phone call from an ex PCGS finalizer who saw the coin in its original envolope to help convince someone that it was ok

Stuart

TonedDollars: That's a very beautiful toned 1898-O that sure looks like a lock PL to me -- at least based on the obv photo... That's my kind of toned Morgan!!

Thanks very much for sharing her with us!!

TONEDDOLLARS

Stuart, Thanks a bunch. I have owned this coin for a long time. It was one of the first toned dollars in my collection. I think it is the reason I started on this journey.
