  • Nice one! Looks like old ANACS type toning but in an NGC holder?

    MS64+ IMO--

    Looking to buy Morgans in ACG, INS, IGA, Old PCI photo, and Hannes Tulving holders.

    It is in an NGC holder now...but may have been ANACS at some other point, I have seen a lot of Morgans with this look in their old holders!

    cool pickup. I'm throwing out a 63 on that one with neat "creepy crawling toning". It does look that old ANACS toning.

    The reverse looks really nice. WHAT VAM IS IT?????

    "What Vam is it?"


    I haven't had a chance to really look that closely...although nothing stands out in the way of clashing, cracks or breaks, date or mint mark doubling. I will let you know if it is an I-6 R-7 though so you can spend crazy moon money buying it from me!!! imageimage

    I am not sure where the ANACS toning phrase came from....from what I have learned, this type of rim toning indicates many years spent (raw of course)...in a coin album.
  • Glad you like it. I wouldnt consider it ANACS toning because there isnt enough blue color like is typically seen for them. I bought the coin raw and slabbed it at NGC.

  • Plus I thought ANACS toning would tone mainly on the part of the coin closest to the tag and not so evenly as the OP example has.
