Green Morgan
Anyone who has followed my posts here will know I am a gold type collector. So this green and blue toned Morgan is outside my wheelhouse.
A couple weeks ago I stopped by the local coin shop and my guy had a few neat toners to show me. Not usually my thing but thought they could make for some good photography practice. Having a long-standing relationship at the shop he offered to let me borrow a few coins to shoot.
After handling this one it felt like a keeper, and I purchased the coin.
My only Morgan (for now). The color is amazing in hand. I have seen a lot of rainbow morgans but this mottled blue and green seems unusual? Amazing luster and the colors are wild in hand. I need a little more time with lighting to fully capture it. Old green holder compliments the coin!
I guess I am a toner guy now?

Definitely different and I like the in holder photo better because it shows how strong the luster comes through the toning.

Great job on the pics! Love the color on it.
Ya know a date set of toned Morgans in OGH CAC sounds like it’s right in your wheelhouse 😎0 -
Nice coin, nice pics. Fun how easy it is to take good pics of great coins eh?
The color on yours is nice, attractive, but not what I'd call insane. The color and pattern itself is somewhat common (as far as toners go) on these 79-81 san frans.

My LCS has one just like that in a 64CAC rattler. Really neat.

I've bought & sold that Morgan $1 at a show once.
I also don't buy a lot of Morgan's but really liked that in hand especially when rotated under a light source.

Very nice looking! It has everything I look for when I'm buying. Great images as well.

That color really makes the stars and lettering on the obverse pop. I love when toning helps to distinguish different parts of the coins design.
Thats a really nice coin and you did great photographing it!
