A toned 1878-S Morgan

I posted this coin here shortly after I received it last year. I got some comments that is was "funky" and "fugly". Here it is again, with a much better image this time:

I love the blue around the reverse rim. I especially go for that look. Nice looking coin!

Yes, it's a PCGS MS64.

I find your 78 S interesting as in how it got that obverse toning. Bag toning maybe ? I like it.

K6AZ

This is a bag toned coin that was subsequently put in an album.

Was I one of the ones who called it "fugly", perchance?












... I still don't love it. But I don't hate it either. It's definitely not "fugly".




..."funky"?


Maybe.

Very nice toner.

Looks to be a VAM 37. . .

interesting color, but a bit too dark for my tastes.

Jeff, it's not a VAM 37, the R in TRUST is unbroken.

The picture does not do the color Justice

K6AZ

Well, I wish I had the same luck with the other two coins I offered, they're still up over there. Before I sold a good part of my set, my 78 was a VAM 38 as well. Here are the closeup images of it:

BIGDAVE

Maybe mine is your old coin? Was yours in color like mine?

K6AZ

No, mine was a white PCGS MS64.
