New Purchase: 1904 PCGS MS-64 Toned Morgan Dollar -- Photos

StuartStuart Posts: 9,761 ✭✭✭✭✭
Here's a coin that I purchased tonight which I thought had nice eye appeal for the grade, and was fortunate to pick up at a great price. It's an upgrade from my AU-58.

I feel that the sellers' photos were off on white balance (many of their other coin listing photos showed similar off-colors).

    Not that I collect Morgan Dollars, but I don't recall ever seeing a 1904 toner. Nice.

  • Very nice That color is is really odd,makes it look like a golden proofimage still a very nice find...
    putting together a MS 60 and up Morgan set....60% complete...otlher 40% probably take the rest of the decade!

    Stuart,

    Nice 1904. My wife's 1904 is only a PCGS MS62... of coarse it does have that "O" thingy below the wreath on the reverse. image

  • Yes the color balance looks off in the picture......I like it and think it will look better in hand. Post a new picture once you get it!!!! image

    KryptoniteComics: Here's what I think the coin should look like with corrected white balance (Top Photos), vs. Original (Bottom Photos).

    Thanks Zenny! So is your E-Bay handle GGOTEEM??

    Sorry that you were the competition on this coin, but thanks very much for your kind words and also for your good sportsmanship. If it's any consolation, I do need this coin to fill a slot in my Morgan Registry sets -- as an upgrade to an AU-58...

    However, I did cut that one dangerously close at 3 seconds before closing of the auction. I did not realize that I had cut it so closely image
