Black Morgan....

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 3:21PM

Though not vibrant, it's has a lot of... black luster. It's neat watching the cartwheel on this one.

stman · July 30, 2004 3:23PM

Me likes that one.

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 3:29PM

Me too.

...and if you get that sucker under a glass, you'd wonder why it's not in a 65 holder. Man, they were beyond brutal on the grade on this one. No biggy, though. Buy the coin, not the holder... right?

David

TWODOGS · July 30, 2004 3:35PM

I don't think NGC will give the darker toned coins a 65. I have a deeply toned '39 Walker in an NGC 64 holder that technically should be a 65 or 66. I think that if the luster is even slightly impaired by dark toning that the coin won't see a 65.

airplanenut · July 30, 2004 3:42PM

That's a sweet coin! The fact that it was graded a good time ago could account for something--may go up at least a point...

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 3:42PM

Twodogs,

YOu may be right. I dont do much submitting on the dark ones. They're usually hard to find. I have, however, owned and submitted a lot of Morgans... it's the strongest 63 I've ever owned

.

David

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 3:45PM

How about a black one with mirrors????

David

TWODOGS · July 30, 2004 3:50PM

I wish I had taken larger pics. Look at the strength of the strike and there are NO bagmarks of any size. (Scratches are on the slab.) But...the obverse IS dark.

airplanenut · July 30, 2004 3:52PM

Twodogs--that's a really cool coin! That really gives truth to the statement about how toned pieces are unique--I've never seen a walker any bit close to looking like that!

Jeremy

TWODOGS · July 30, 2004 3:56PM

Airplanenut, I got that one from Mdwoods. He agrees, it should be a 65. The reverse is the exact same color as the pic shows...gun metal blue.

stman · July 30, 2004 4:05PM

You guys keep showing those black beauty's.... I just know that K6AZ is gonna start in with those twin ladies. Then what I go through isn't a pretty sight.

K6AZ · July 30, 2004 4:05PM

Did someone say black? (And stman they are still not for sale)

stman · July 30, 2004 4:07PM

What did I tell ya. There he goes.

airplanenut · July 30, 2004 4:08PM

K6--those for sale?

Here's the one I've got:

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:11PM

Twodogs, that is one sweet walker. Too bad for me that it's tied up in strong hands

.

K6AZ... man, that is sweet. They'er ALMOST twins!!!

David

K6AZ · July 30, 2004 4:12PM

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:14PM

This one is black if you have low light... or outdoor light. In nice indoor light, it is more purpleish. The cartwheel is totally awesome on this one. It changes from the background color to more of a magenta as you turn it. Sweet.

David

stman · July 30, 2004 4:15PM

<< <i>K6AZ... man, that is sweet. They'er ALMOST twins!!! >>

They ain't that great!!!

K6AZ · July 30, 2004 4:18PM

There goes stman politickin' again. Still not for sale!

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:20PM

There goes stman politickin' again. Still not for sale!

I'd think they'd bring at least two dollars.... now which two dollars they'd bring is a good question.

David

K6AZ · July 30, 2004 4:26PM

Seriously, I turned down an offer of $700 for the pair, and that offer wasn't from stman.

TWODOGS · July 30, 2004 4:26PM

Okay, this one isn't black, but it IS dark and splotchy to make up for it.

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:30PM

Seriously, I turned down an offer of $700 for the pair, and that offer wasn't from stman.

Well, if I had $701... actually, I'd put that in my 93-S morgan fund.... but if I had another $701... well, I'd probably put that in my 93-S morgan fund too... but if I had another $701.... awe who the heck am I kidding.... I'm broke.

David

stman · July 30, 2004 4:30PM

Twodogs... I like that Walker.

<< <i>Seriously, I turned down an offer of $700 for the pair, and that offer wasn't from stman >>

Well I offered 650.00 so I was close.

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:30PM

Nice 81-CC...

There certainly seems to be some closet black Morgan lovers. I had someone offer me $150 for the 85, which I turned down. Me likes black Morgans!

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 4:39PM

Man. I cant even sell quality at a fair price right now. If you want to see a two year work end without a buyer at average market.... check this out. ...about 10 min left. All on ebay as singles on Sunday night.

David

TWODOGS · July 30, 2004 4:47PM

I don't know anything about Lincolns, but I wish you luck with the singles. I hope you make WAAAAAY more that way.

You have a couple of problems with that auction. First, not many want to buy a complete set. Second, you used a one day auction which a lot of people are leery of. If you really want to get top dollar for those coins, list them singly in seven day auctions. You should do much better that way.

That's the second time it's been up. The first was a three day auction. I'd already decided to plug everything in on sunday, but I figured I'd discount it a little for the ease of not having to send off coins to 40 different people... so I put in a one day auction (about this tiem last night) because three days would put it ending on Sunday night. Well, I'm not listing them at 2 AM as singles on a Monday morning. The low ball snipers would have a field day... so that's the reason for the one day auction.

They'll hit ebay, starting and ending on a Sunday as singles. I just hate having to send that many coins off at one time. Too much thinking makes me tired... lol.

LincolnCentMan,

That Black Morgan is cool. You can see from the image that it has cartwheel luster for days.

LincolnCentMan · July 30, 2004 5:07PM

oldcameoproofsguy,

Thanks,

I'll tell the wife you liked it. She has all the good stuff around here (our house)....

On a common date like that I don't think it really matters if its a 63 or a 64 no significant change in value really.

ibzman350 · July 31, 2004 12:24AM

Black morgans

Herb

ibzman350 · July 31, 2004 1:52AM

Went back and checked my database and I found a black morgan, but no luster

Herb

Shamika · August 1, 2004 2:42AM

Wow, I really like many of these blazing black beauties. First class!

TonedCoinTrader · August 1, 2004 2:56AM

Back's in Black!
