Looking to buy my one and only Morgan: Input would be appreciated

dizzyfoxx

Hi all,

I am putting together a color-toned early commemorative collection but would like to add one colorful Morgan to my collection. I'm considering one of these two and would like to get opinions on the actual coins themselves and what accurate values might be? The reverses have no toning but appear to be lustrous. Thanks in advance, dizzyfoxx

If I'm not mistaken end roll . Nice coin $1000. give or take

Apparently only high end will suffice- go with the OGH- I like its looks- the othe rlooks AT. JMFHO.

No way will it go for $1000... it should be much more expensive

I like both, but the second might not have enough vibrancy, where the lustre lights up the color, as you may want. That said, it's out of a bag... here's a near match:

I'll vote for the first one. Just personal preference as I like the multi hues a bit better. Not sure you would go wrong with either though for what you need/want. As far as AT, just because they are in holders doesn't guarantee that the toning is natural so just assume they are both AT and you won't be disappointed.

Well IMHO I don't like either as a 67. The first one seems a bit softly struck for a 67 grade, and the second while displaying a strong strike seems to have some marks on the cheek. If the toining is all that concerns you then the first one is better.

agree I like the first one best colors are fantastic

Both coins are superb, with the top coin having a look that is much less common than the bottom coin. It looks as though a lot of light was used to image both coins and, if that is the case, then the top coin might have color that looks muted auburn in more subdued light. Of course, the bottom coin will have less flash also in less light, but the colors will look more as they do now. Buy the one that you find more attractive.

between the two I'd vote for the first one, I'm not a big fan of the colors on the second one personally. Looks like there may be a couple distracting hits on the second one as well.(?) Is that a partial print at about 12:00 on the first one?

Thet are both naturally toned and both out of a canvas bag, the top coin being stored in a bank roll at the end of a roll. The price of art is in the eye of the beholder. A far prettier example of the date in 67 recently brought $3,700 bid by a very knowledgeable collector. End rollers with 100% obverse toning can go from $400 on up to $1000 plus but each coin is unique.. The question is if the second example looks more vibrant in hand--do the colors blast out from the lusterous surface? I can't tell. What I'm saying is end-rollers have a limit sort of in price, but banded bag toners like coin #2 can go higher--YOU have to decide when you see it live. My guess is #1 is a bit nicer, but the scan doesn't tell enough for #2.
