Would you pay a premium for this type of Rim Toning?

Crackout

I bought this Morgan last week with the intention of re-selling it. But I have since decided to keep it. The coin has just a little blueish toning that turns to red around part of the rim. With all the monster toned Morgans out there and the questionable AT I see on eBay, would this type of coin with subtle natural toning bring any more of a premium (especially on a common date) than if it was blast white?

mrpaseo

ummm, what was the question again?

I would not pay a premium for this type of toning. I do not think it would bring a premium (Especially on a common date) any more than a blast white (Whatever blast white is).

just my uneducated opinion,

I would and do pay a small premium for album toning. I love Morgans with those beautiful colors around the rims.

While I like that toning, I would not pay a premium for it.

In fact, I would usually not pay a premium for toning at all.

I wouldn't personally pay a premium for rim toning. It would have to me more dramatic and larger. Wayte Raymond style toning is about where I would place the boundaries of premium for me.

With all the hype over toning today awell worded ebay ad might bring you a small premium.

No. The real question you should be asking is this: "When it comes time to sell this coin will a dealer be willing to pay a premium for this type of toning?" The dealers in my area would not pay any premium for this type of toning.

The toning frames the coin nicely. I would buy a coin because of the nice toning like yours but I would not pay a premium.

I like it. I would try to bargain down a plain white coin. I would be more inclined to pay the asking price for a coin with eye appeal. I would, and have, paid large premiums for wild toned coins.

Some people don't think Morgans like this are worth a premium, usually the blast white crowd. If I find a Morgan like this in a date and grade I want, I will pay a premium for it, usually 10-20% over a white example.

Place it in an Album for a few years. Maybe it will Tone deeper with more Blue. At present it does not have any "premium toning"
Yet.

Any nice coin you particularly like is worth a small premium...to you, and if that's what it takes, if you like it, then go for it.

Who cares what a dealer would say while trying to pay the least amount possible? As a lover of original Morgans, I would buy this over any blast white example. Too many Morgans are dipped and stripped. This isn't one of them.

I really like this morgan. As for whether I would pay a premium, it would depend on how much of a premium and how much I wanted the coin. But I probably would.

ms70

Not really. I will pay extra for incredible eye appeal but with eye appeal being subjective, this doesn't do it for me.

BigAl

I would purchase a morgan with that type of rim toning over a "blast white" morgan any day.

Actually, I probably would not buy a "blast white" common date morgan unless it was pl/dmpl.

Would I pay a small premium? yes.
IMO would it realize a premium over a "blast white" morgan if both were auctioned on ebay? No.

Thanks for all your replies. I was trying to get a feel for where people start to draw the line as far as premiums for albumn toned coins. It appears that for common date Morgans, a bit more "attention grabbing" toning would be necessary for the majority to start to ante up.

However, I really like this natural look and it did not cost me any premium. Although, if it had cost me more (even a small amount), I probably would not have bought it. But I like it now and will keep it in my collection!
