Here's that Morgan I mentioned...

I bought this along with that blue Peace dollar I posted yesterday... It's a luster bomb for sure but has one of the flattest New Orleans strike I've ever seen! The ear and hair curl is almost completely without detail... same with the breast on the reverse eagle.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    I like the coin very much!

    (IMHO) . . .

    The toning appears to be in color gradations that appear on NT pieces, i.e. the blues turning to gold and dark orange. The flow appears to be natural and enters the coin at the rims as if from a highly reactive holder (I feel NOT an album but an aftermarket holder to display the piece, then it was transferred to this inert holder). The reverse shows the concentric pattern indicative of sulphur reacting with a decent flow of oxygen over the coin, as if this was the "up" side. The obverse shows just the telltale coloration around the rim, but is also indicative of a "down" side of the coin in a (Snap-Fit) holder, denying it much oxygen and therefor not much color reaction. I look upon this as a 'natural' piece, although obviously different (for you purists) from a bag toner. It appears to have all the credentials of a common date that was kept in a highly reactive holder (like those "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Anniversary" cardboard inserts inside a "Snap-Fit" plastic case that had the lid open just a bit). Go ahead and determine AT/NT as you will, but it certainly does not appear to be a bake job.

    Good post . . .good pix.

    Pretty. Probably considered improperly stored, but still pretty.

    Nice looking coin, Lady Liberty must have been a boxer as that sure is a cauliflower ear!

    Looks to me like a coin that spent a long time in an old ANACS white holder, or something similar. They often create those blues and pinks.
    Nice looking Morgan!

    Nice! I would give it a 64 with a shot at 65.
