Collecting Morgans in Any Grade
Then don't grade it!!
" Since our grades will most certainly be biased......"
That's the most truthful part of the whole auction!
"We also provided the price range which was copied from PCGS site for your convenience."
Hmmmmmm, I guess we should be thinking in the $28500 range!

The constant inquiry regarding the origin of our coins toning has prompted us to share the events that led to its present state. We believe that those events could not be construed as artificially toning the coins; however, it is not for us to decide. These particular groups of coins were toned in the Mohave Desert and when ever a coin is listed that belongs to this particular group the title will start with Desert Toned. The former owner of these coins was on officer in the USAF and owned a ranch a few miles south of Edwards Air Force Base. He was part of the casualty in the war against Iraq leaving the property to his wife and two sons. Since, the ranch was his home away from home the family decided to sell it. They renovated the one bedroom bungalow to enhance the value of the property. The renovation included some patch up work with the roof. The people who were patching up the roof found a mangled plastic bag that they turned over to the wife. The wife found coins inside the bag and called a family friend who then called a dealer that sold us these coins. The dealer found coins that were wrapped in tissue paper. The top portion of the big plastic bag was partly melted and it exposed the coins to the elements. The tissue papers that covered the coins on the upper most portion of the bag were extremely dark in color. This was attributed to the desert heat for no one knew how long the coins were in that roof. Most of the coins in the top part of the bag that were heavily corroded and less than half of the bag escaped encrustations. It is our belief that the events leading to the toning of these coins could not be construed as artificial for it was nature that caused its coloration and as such the word artificial in the truest sense of the word is not an appropriate designation for these coins. Whether or not the term artificially toned applies is entirely up to each individual for each one of us has an opinion on this matter. If the coin is desirable to you then feel free to bid on this auction. If the date is desirable but not the toning there are professionals approved by the grading services who will take the toning off for a fee. If you cannot decide you should have read the warning on top of this listing prior to reading this.
