Now that I can post larger photos, remember this Morgan $ NT/AT

I'm at odds on this one. Don't really like it, but if it is natural tone maybe I'd like it better. How in the world this coin got to look like this is beyond me. Would being in a leather pouch for a long time do this ? Any other suggestions. Thanks image

    Not sure how it got that way, or if it's AT or NT, but I like the look. It's a solid AU-50, maybe a bit higher.
  • Dip an EF/AU Morgan, stick it in a brown manila envelope for 30 years, that's what you sometimes get.

    Looks NT and uncirculated to me.....

  • Looks NT to me. I have a similar coin that was in an envelope for decades. I think this coin may have been retoned based on the distribtion of the tone. Either way, looks MS to me.

  • Yes the toning is like 15 or more I have which my parents stored in brown 2X2's back in the 60's. But MS??!!! I may be going blind-- but why is there no luster beneath the motto and under the eagles wings, but tons of nice luster around the motto, the wings and in the protected areas?? I can see how the toning just might be rubbed off the shiney high points of the obverse, but there are other areas the luster seems totally gone due to circulation. It's AU IMHO.
