You would? Do you have any like that for sale at 63 money?

Purple73

Nope, I dont collect toned morgans, LOL

whats the grade anyway?

K6AZ

It's a strong 64. People need to remember my images are large and well lit which tends to show every mark on a coin.

JRocco

Hey Eric, nice coin- I know you said 64, but that looks good at 65 to me.

Purple73

Hey! I wasnt that far off! I typically grade tough anyway so that means I'm right on! LOL!


Yeah, your images are very big and micro grading comes into effect. But your not asking grade anyway so in this case doesn't matter what I grade it at .........it's a neato coin!

Sweet coin Eric....I agree with the grade of MS64.....the back is better, but the Obverse limits it to a 64......but oh what a colorful 64 it is

I think there could be an outside shot at 5, but I wouldn't count on it. One thing about this coin is that it is very well struck for this date.

RAD

very well struck with great toning on reverse, but obverse makes it a 64 at very best......nice coin though!! Let us know if PCGS is as convinced as you that it's a 64!

Can I take it that you won't be sniping that one? Figured you wouldn't be putting it up here until afterwards if so. Looks like baboon nite on Teletrade to me. Quacks already have a '73 PCGS PR69DCAM jeff at $95 and the highest paid price before this was $47(including the premium).

I bet you could make a killing selling those same ICG toners over there tonight.

K6AZ

I have this one in hand, it was from Sunday's TT auction.

Excellent toner!

I missed that you had that one also. I decided to put together a matching morgan gold toned rim "One per Year" set in 63/64 for some fun. Trying for "O's" for most of the set since I lived in New Orleans most of my life. Cheap, decent & matching gold toning as close as possible is the object. Nothing special, but here's the first one. Have my eye on a couple of other cheap gold rimmed one's tonight.

$33

K6AZ----I'd still like to see if PCGS thinks it's a 64......any thought of trying to cross over??

ElectricEye

It's a strong 64 imho.

It's at PCGS and it will make 64.

ElectricEye

I sense a wager coming on...

K6AZ

It would be like taking candy from a baby on this one.

RAD

LOLOLOL.....no wager, but let me know!! PM is ok!!

ElectricEye

Rad, would you like to wager your icon coin?

Why don't you tell him the story about that coin, who it was bought from raw, what that seller graded it, and what PCGS said.

Purchased when I was new to the morgan scene from K6AZ, 63, 63, and I still have it.

That's what I was going to say -- that is an exceptional strike for an 88-O, and harder to find than most would think. Great pickup!!
