When do you get to name a toner? I was thinking about naming this one...

Is there a level of "monsterness" needed for a name? Or can you just go fer it?

I was pondering a name like "scintillating black" for this one.....not certain if that is appropriate yet, might not be "monsterous" enough? I think it's close....

It's no red hot lava.....but she's nice.

    When can you name it?

    When you own it!

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Funny thread! Back in the late 90's Coin World actually printed a letter to the editor I sent in about all the funny names in seller's descriptions floating around at that time. I think I remember one being "sea foam" or something like that.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I am glad you like it, but I really am not a fan of the black and white spots on that coin.

  • SurfinxHISurfinxHI Posts: 2,606 ✭✭✭✭✭

    And that, Bob, is very graphic. I'm really trying to forget what happened yesterday....

    Any toned Morgan naming questions need to be directed to @AuroraBorealis or Brandon Kelley.

    Chance favors the prepared mind.

    SurfinxHI cool Morgan!
    The name thing has everything to do with keeping track of which Morgan is which and not just the monster level... Especially if you have many of the same dates...
    How about for your 84-O "Midnight Rainbow"

    Your coin, you can name it..... The name should fit the coin - such as the names given by Auroraborealis to his coins....Cheers, RickO

    This coming from a guy who names all his toners either "soon to be dead" or "pardoned" :joy:

    The more you VAM..
