    Amazing toning, PCGS has been so strict, I'm a little surprised it made it into one of their new holders. Guess it could have been a regrade/reholder, but the coin is nice.

    A shame it wasn't the obverse instead of the reverse. Maybe it would have hidden the thumbprint.

  • This should not have made it past PCGS. It has to be AT.

    Can anybody here who works at a CSI-(city-of-your-choice) and can ID that fingerprint, call the local constable and aprehend the perpretrader with the fat thumb and take him jail. What a crying shame! Strangely enough, I just bought an 1882-S rainbow Morgan 2 days ago. The difference is the front is rainbowed.

    Can you take a minute to explain this comment PrivateCoinCollector?
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    DUDE!!!image Interesting toning/color. Now that's some "color." I'd like to see some pull-away and the color not all over the tops of the letters etc. and would like to see different shades of color inside the devices. Perhaps it blend a bit better, and could do without that spotty color stuff as well. I wish I could un-see the prints on the obverse. AND, it's not Battle Creek so it can't be much.image

    Bottom line.... "If it's pretty and you like it is all that matters." I learned that right here.

    As we found out on this forum ( I won't mention names) some people have master the art of toning coins after they have been holdered.

    In my opinion this is classic bag toning. They don't come more original IMHO

    If I had the dough, I would try to own it...looks 100% NT to me. I have owned literally hundreds and hundreds of NT Rainbow Morgans over the years and this one is tremendous.

    That's truly ironic that a reverse that intense would get paired with an ugly obverse with that kind of print on it...

    You probably have never seen a real NT Moose color Morgan in hand.Bear,not directed at you as i know you have owned some beautiful coins.The problem with people who are always planting doubt about monster toned Morgans,and i dont collect reverse toned ones,so i have no interest in this coin,is that they have never seen one ,owned one,or are just plain jealous.Hey,what do i know,or Sunnywood,or GSA Guy,or Shep,Tom B,Curtis,Toneddollars,gemtone,coingame 2000,newmismitist,Art r.Mugno,Dragon,Kimmel,Fountainheadgold,Hadleydog,or any folks i forgot to mention who actually know real bag toning.JMHO

    A moose of a toner, and very much NT. Sorry stman, your wrong on this one. I have coins that show both pull-away on some portions while others have the devices covered. At least your response had some thought put into it.

    Why is the Reverse shown on the label side of the slab? All I have seen have the obverse to the front. Cheers, RickO

    Easily, although you never know on the 'bay. Color like this is rare.......imagine if it were on the obverse?
