Do you like this toning?

3 Part question. Do you like the toning? Do you think it is AT or MA or NT? Anything else you care to add. Sorry for the crappy images.

    No.

    AT.

    Looks radioactive.

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    And your reason for calling it AT is?

    The pics are way too overexposed to get a read on the colors.

    Sorry, but it has the Easter egg coloring look to it.
    The images aren't crappy, a bit bright, not bad at all. Detail looks pretty crisp from here.

    If the images accurately depict the toning, I would steer clear. FWIW, I do have a secondary collection of wildly toned (bag and end roll) Morgans.

  • I'm in the like it crowd. Not sure why, but I do. Not qualified to guess AT or NT. image
  • Sometimes hard to tell from a photo, but it looks like AT, and no, I don't like it, and I love toned coins.

    I commented ATS. No, I do not like it and I think it is AT. Sorry.

    I'm with Lance and the others....AT....not a naturally toned Morgan.....color spectrum looks way off to me.

    If Lloyd and Sunnywood view the coin, they will be the best judges.

    Did you purchase the coin yet?

    The complete coverage of toning on both sides has me more concerned then the colors which could be just a result of a poor image. MJ

    Sorry, I don't like the look, it looks circulated and it almost has a mirror image obverse and reverse. If the image is accurate of the Easter egg colors too many red flags on this one. Although it doesn't have to have pull-away around the date and devices, I don't see any true pull-away so nothing helps convince me it's not bunk.

    I don't like it. It doesn't look "old". It doesn't look "natural". NT usually isn't this uniform and symmetric. I'm no AT expert, but this coin would not interest me.
  • blu62vetteblu62vette Posts: 11,945 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I am not a fan of the photo, no idea what the coin really looks like. It would be great color for a 98-S but also looks like an AU coin.

    I think certain types of laundry deteragant/bleach will cause this.
  • ZoinsZoins Posts: 34,401 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm not a fan of this look. It looks questionable and unattractive to me. Just my 2 cents.
  • 291fifth291fifth Posts: 24,689 ✭✭✭✭✭
    AT. Looks to be of very recent vintage.

    I buy coins... I do not AT coins. I think many of you might have a different opinion in hand of this coin. One image does not do this coin justice.

    Is this the seller image? What is different on the coin compared to the supplied image?

    When you look up the word boinked in the dictionary, a pic of that shows up. No other words needed.
    Sorry
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • From these photos ... ghastly.
    Let's try not to get upset.
  • In the photo, the fields look dull and pockmarked, almost cast-looking.

    Good point MJ.

    This is the classic appearance of a circulated silver coin that has had accelerated toning imparted to it to try to improve marketability. I'd buy it as merely an AU-50. Nothing more.

    These are my quick crappy images. In hand the coin is slightly darker and when looked at certain ways the color is strong while other ways the color is almost not there. I will take it to the National Money Show in Dallas and let you look at it.
  • Pics leave wanting.
    Well. No, irrelevant and nothing.

    Best wishes,
    Eric

    Edit to add: I am not saying you AT'd this if it seems others might be; perhaps I misread. Just answering your questions.

  • It is not that I don't like the coin, it's the picture that is bad. You have it in hand
    so you be the judge. If you like it them get it graded but it will be a Code 91 from

    << <i>3 Part question. Do you like the toning? >>

    No.

    << <i>Do you think it is AT >>

    Yes.

    << <i>or MA >>

    Market in general? I wouldn't think so but it depends on the buyer, I suppose.

    << <i>or NT? >>

    No.
  • CoinJunkieCoinJunkie Posts: 8,772 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Don't like it. Looks AT. No "pullaway" from any of the high points plus atypical color progressions
    are the reasons it looks suspect to me.
  • Lighting can make a world of difference when viewing toned coins generally. Based on the current image, it is clearly circulated, and likely cleaned and retoned. The toning looks artificial to me. In any event, I don't care for it a bit, and I would never buy the coin. I would call it XF details, cleaned, AT.

    I have had a few Morgans that look similar to this one. They were scrubbed then put in a cardboard box. So they were NT, but not really nice, especially at that grade.

    << <i>Do you like the toning? >>

    Yes, actually.



    << <i>Do you think it is AT or MA or NT? >>

    What's "MA"? Massachusetts? That was struck in San Francisco. Haha. I think it might be AT, but I don't really care. I don't own it and I might not be trying to slab it if I did, so hey- it's purdy as far as I'm concerned. 100% natural or original? Nah, maybe not. But again, I don't really care.

    Edit: aha. "MA" = Market Acceptable. image I shoulda known that. Forum Lingo Dictionary to the rescue. (Thanx, Dawg.)



    << <i>Anything else you care to add. Sorry for the crappy images. >>

    Not really, though the images look far from crappy to my eye. Look pretty good from where I sit.
