I'm concerned about what NGC has been holdering...

This toner looks very fake and very awful to me, and they holdered it? Am I being too picky, or are their standards slipping into the mud?

    I don't share your concern at all. It looks like a fairly unattractive, likely original MS64 coin. Nothing apparent in the images makes it look over-graded, either.

    likely original MS64 coin

    Wow- really? I'll defer to your greater knowledge- I guess it just looks like crap to me...... image

    Myqqy, I agree that coin looks like crap from the sellers pics. But knowing the seller, they probably juiced the heck out of them to make the most dramatic effect.

    It does look bad, but without it in hand how can we condem the coin.

    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Remember, "original" doesn't necessarily equate with attractive/desirable.image That's part of the reason that so many "original" coins are turned into something else.
  • As imaged, it seems to have the diagnostics of a typical unattractive NT bag-toned common date Morgan, & MS64 seems fine---

    it looks kind of odd to me as well, cooked and splotchy is a good way to describe it, but it could be the image. Either way it is fugly.

    Ugly, but is naturally toned.

    I posted a coin like that a while back and someone referred to it as "toilet water toning". It stuck with me and probably applies to this coin, as well.

    Fugly doesnt mean AT.image
    Great coins are not cheap,and cheap coins are not great!

    I agree--I have some GSAs that look similar.
  • not fake but ugly - technically graded
  • at least it didn't get the star designationimage
