1880-S NGC MS-64 PL (Old "Fat" Holder) 2-Sided Brown Toned Morgan Dollar -- New vs Origina

Stuart

I purchased this pretty 1880-S NGC MS-64 PL 2-Sided Brown Toned Morgan Dollar tonight on Teletrade, which is in one of the old "fat" keyless NGC holders.

I love the brown toning that many of the coins in this type of holder develop over the years!

Looks like a good pick-up

Thanks guys!! I thought that she looked like a pretty original two-sided Prooflike toner.

I received this coin yesterday and am very pleased with how it looks in person. The overall color is a bit more reddish brown than in the following TT auction photos, with nearly DMPL Cameo Obverse, and PL Reverse with evident die striations so often seen in the early San Francsico Mint Morgan Dollars.

It is truly a beautiful original 2-sided Toned Morgan Dollar in an old Fat NGC keyless slab. I generally love the look of Toned Morgans in this type of holder.

However, it took over 2 weeks for TeleTrade to ship it to me even with Instant PayPal payment...

First of all I am on your side I like that sort of toning too. I am surprised at the difference in coloring on the photo as I purchased a toner from them and they had the photo spot on.

Edited to add: is that a clash mark in her left field or toning break?

Stuart

IrishMike: This specific coin has a more reddish hue in person as demonstrated in my new photos, as compared to the more greenish-brown appearance in the original TT auction photos.

I've noticed that the old ANACS holders seem to develop their own kind of toning too... I'm referring to the ones that have 2 letters and a 4 digit number code. I like it!

Stuart

IrishMike: I do not see any clash marks on this coin. Are you referring to the contact mark to the right of Miss Liberty on the obverse?? Or something else??
