AT or NT - 1880-S Morgan Dollar

nesvt

I showed this coin in another thread regarding the grades from my last submission. Some folks gave me feedback as to why they think it's AT. Thank you for those that replied!

I received the TrueView images today. I'd like to hear what some of you think. AT? NT? Definite? Maybe?
PCGS called it "Questionable Color".
What should I do with it? Leave it alone? Submit elsewhere? Dip it?

Looks AT. See where the color got painted onto Liberty's chin? See the area in the fiield behind the cap where the toning did not take? It was easier to see in the photo you posted yesterday. It does not look like a high enough grade piece to be worth investing any more slabbing fees. You might want to save it as an example of a BB coin.

Yes, that toning is very questionable at best, and it's not worth submitting again dipped or otherwise. After dipping it will probably grade a 62 or so.


Not sure why someone would do that as it's a low grade inexpensive coin and that toning adds nothing to it or hides anything.

I think the toning is pretty whether it is AT or NT.

IMO, to practice their craft. You sure wouldn't want to start your learning curve on better date coins. Looks fairly questionable for the reasons already given, but if I was going to own it, I think I would rather own it as it currently is, than dip it. The world does not need another pure white 1880-S Morgan.

Better to keep it as is and use it as a reference coin so you know what NOT to buy.

I agree that whether or not it's AT, in my opinion it's still pretty. As long as you did not pay a strong premium for the toning I'd be pleased with it.

Looks AT, but not overly AT'd. I still like it.

Even though AT is wrong.
