I am broken hearted to see this:
Can anyone tell me what happened to this coin?

That's a piece of ...........................................................silver.
UGLY is kind.

When there are so many nice 78cc's, I can imagine this going for a lot less than guide.
Yep, it's ugly.
Challenge accepted! They are technically conditional rarities though
yes they're ugly but not uglier
Wow, it sure is ugly !!!
It’s not attractive in those pics, but may look decent enough when tilted under light?
I bought this PCGS MS 65 for $85 sixteen years ago. It is my dad's birth year.
I wanted to learn about window sill toning so I cracked it and sat it there for 30 months.
Here's the result. Do you like it? I don't. Sometimes toning doesn't develop as you hope.

The toning doesn’t enhance the coin. If anything it makes the coin look worse.
Here's one ugly '93-CC I bought from a bullion shop for $75.00. I flipped it pretty quick and made a little on it.
Never tone during a solar eclipse.
Getting a coin to tone naturally is dicey and tricky. You don't always get what you want. I've gotten the best results from storing a coin in an old coin envelope that was not quite sulfur free.
The Gimbals coin store used them as the inner envelope for their inventory system. The outer envelopes were sent back to headquarters and re-used after the sold coin was sold. You got the inner envelope when you bought the coin. I used them to re-tone copper and silver coins, and it often worked well. The trouble was that system did not quite provide 100% results, and it took a few years.
There are many ugly old Morgans out there.... I have a few (even ugly coins need love)..... Much like a stray puppy, I have given some shelter....and they stayed.
I have a soft spot for the big silver coins and if I see one at a 'giveaway' price, I will usually pick it up. Cheers, RickO
