Link to AT. One of the best AT jobs I've seen on ebay.

At least one other board member likes it to.

Interesting toning..... doesn't look like the average AT stuff.......

Can't wait to see what the experts have to say about this one.

Looks good to me !!

I wonder if anybody from Texas has that coin on their snipe list.

JRocco · November 28, 2004 6:18AM

I would have called that NT

Naw, looks too much like that color coming out of the great north west.

ears burning?

It's pretty good, but do you see what gives this one away?

Russ · November 28, 2004 6:44AM

<< but do you see what gives this one away? >>

The splotchiness to the red in the right obverse field.

That's one sign, but not the major one on this coin. The coin doctor is trying to imitate bag toning. On real bag toned coins, the demarcation line betwee the toned and untoned areas of the coin is fluid, by that I mean the line does not zigzag. The line on this coin zigzags several times, making it obvious.

I thought it looked good as well and I am not totally convinced it isn't NT....regardless I am trying to win it so I can see it up close and personal. Since I have been buying up toned morgans in bunches lately, it's important that I be able to tell the difference. If I don't win it no biggie, but it's worth a shot.

If that doesn't work....I'll crack it and sell it for a fortune

"It's pretty good, but do you see what gives this one away?"

Toned "zig zag" on both sides doesn't make a very good case for its being bag toned either.

kryptonitecomics · November 28, 2004 8:53AM

I don't and I ain't going to find out the way the bidding is going. I thought it was worth $20 just to learn from, but it's at $31 now.......I could get an NT for that so....I'll pass

I do have to wonder, though, if this coin will reappear raw on ebay without mention of AT.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Some people have no scruples. Or, they know more than the experts at ANACS.

This AT Morgan is a pretty good job, actually
