    Doesn't look right
  • I don't have a good feeling about this one and the picture sucks so it's really a crap shoot but the obverse looks circulated and the reverse looks suspect but I can't say for sure it's AT based on the picture.
  • pics arent the best, but looks ok to me

    Don't expect to get it in a no-problem slab.

  • Appears to be AU
    Doesnt appear to be market acceptable toning, if it gets slabbed your in luck
    In addition i was taught blues and purples dont appear togther typically, like a tell tale sign of AT? could be wrong on that one, would need better pics to tell.

    Interesting...lots of gun shy opinions on my raw toneage. haha. I guarantee pcgs ms-63 first time submission. In fact, I would bet on it...any takers? Nothing big...maybe a donation to the YN program? It appears I have lots to teach the forum toned coin newbies.

    Coin APPEARS to be UNC. I just never understand why people pay premiums for toning.......

    Good Luck on getting it into a PCGS problem free slab.

    Looks AT. Raw eBay purchase?
  • Coin APPEARS to be UNC. I just never understand why people pay premiums for toning....... Perhaps because toners are nicer and more interesting than plain ole blast white coins?

    Eye appeal man; it's all about eye appeal. A really nice toner has eye appeal that goes through the roof.

    The first thing that should have tipped you off is the date. The year 1890 is not known as a date flush with nice toners. A 63 with legit toning like that should have brought a lot more than you paid. Just sayin.

    Its a matter or PERSPECTIVE. Some people like Toners. Some like Blast White. I like both, I just understand why toners command such premiums.

    BAJJERFAN is correct. Here's my modest 1890-P in 64 with some color on it.

    I think you should take a good image before trying to teach anything. You cant judge anything from that picture, not color, not grade, just a plain shot in the dark. Its not suprising that you are getting the types of opinions so far.

    From the images provided that coin doesn't look right at all.

  • Based on the somewhat unclear pictures provided, I'd say something doesn't look quite Kosher.
    The reverse appears to be AT but I'm no expert.
    Just my 2¢
  • 7Jaguars7Jaguars Posts: 7,515 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yikes, AT to me but some on these boards will "NT" anything.
    Also, although admittedly not the best image, I have 62s that look a whole lot less bagged/abraded...
    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.
  • Tel us more bout the Rainbow Liberty Head VC and others you have sold. Neat purple. I sill don't understand how you thought this looked good even from these horrid pics is looks AU, altered and AT.

    The 1890 is generally known to afford a lot of baggy looking coins and as such there is a BIG price jump from 64 to 65

    <<Hi Doug,

    I will take you up on your "guarantee" and "bet". I will bet the coin either doesn&#146;t receive a numerical grade, or if it does, grades less than MS63, the first time. It looks AT (and quite possibly less than MS63) to me. So I have two ways to win. And the loser donates $100 to the ANA's YN program. Are you willing to back up your braggadocio?

    Sincerely,
    Mark Feld>>

  • Looks 63 to me. And Shake 'n' Baked.
    Let's try not to get upset.
  • I'll take you up on the little side bet as well, I'll do a giveaway to a YN on the board for a VG Morgan 1896
  • MyqqyMyqqy Posts: 9,777
    Count me in on the "it doesn't look right" group. It doesn't look right from what the pics are showing...

    Haha...thanks all! Thought I might get flamed a LOT worse than this! I appreciate your restraint from getting pesonal...back in "the day" (5 years or so ago), some guys would get torched for smart alec remarks like mine.

    Anyway, I will have to take you all up on a Group bet then...My max is $100 to YN vs all the naysayers...you all can take the other side of it in pieces or even more. Either way, I win, as I love the hobby and want the YNs to have a little more budget money. image

    Let's have fun! I will send it in with my next Economy shipping with other horribly AT Morgans and such. lol.

  • Someone clipped a coupon for $1.00 off any shake and bake!
  • From the PICTURES I say the coin is AT and I wouldn't even want to try and assign a grade.
    Get better pics and I might change my mind but I doubt it.




    I missed this earlier from the OP's second post:

    The coin look AU and AT to me. Though your pictures are not the best, the fields on the obverse make the coin look AU.
  • BillJonesBillJones Posts: 34,140 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The color on the reverse looks weird and unnatural. I know you didn’t buy the coin for the obverse, but the dab of color in Ms. Liberty’s ear looks AT to me.

  • Hi Bill,

    that blue in the area of the ear bothered me too an the overall cleaning look.

    I just got it in hand from the mail today. The pics didn't do it justice. Definitely NT. The ear color is practically non existant and the obv is fully PL. The reverse is a perfect tone layer...not all applied or chemicaled up.

    I raise my bet to $200 to the YN. Please add your name and promise to this thread? This is all in good fun, folks. No mean intentions. image

    If you got it in hand how about some accurate pics and then I'll take a guess. But, based on the pics
    you posted I'd say AT and MS60/61 at best.
    A couple of years ago I attended a class through PCGS at the Vegas show. Hour long or so and
    the presenter (I don't remember who, shame on me) said that if the toning looks painted on it's AT.
    This looks just like a paint brushed dollar.
