Talk about a "Percentage Premium for a Toner". 1880-S MS66 PCGS Price Guide is at $400.
Gen 4.4 Holdered 15-20 years ago, and one can assume that it was sent to CAC at least once and failed?
Beautiful Bold Colors and apparent textile/bag toning.
Would this pass as NT today if sent in raw? Thanks

Yes, I imagine it would easily "pass as NT today if sent in raw". In my opinion there is nothing suspicious about it. I'm not as shocked by the fact it doesn't have a CAC sticker as not every coin has been submitted to them, but I am stunned by the final price.

Crazy.
I think it would straight grade if sent in raw as the colors are natural. The textile and bright colors helped spark a bidding war but I am still surprised at the final result.
More than a few times I’ve paid $500-600+ to play a round of golf, so who am I to critique how someone spends their disposable cash, but that’s simply nuts IMO.

Wow
Having that much premium for a toned coin is crazy!

- Someone, probably
I think it's a lock that this coin, if sent in raw, would straight grade. Looks like all the hallmarks of natural Morgan toning to me. Certainly sold for way more than expected. I would have imagined maybe like $1300 - $1500 if this was a "guess the hammer price" thread.
It’s a textile toner. I like it, but not at that price! Not even close!! But, if the high bidder is happy, well then God bless him..😉

Dang! Where are these bidders when I'm trying to sell!! Exactly! Where oh where art thou brothers?
17 times price guide? Not in this lifetime or the next.
The premium seems terribly high to me - but that's just me. This is hardly my first time seeing a very common but canvas-textured Morgan sell for 20 times basal value.
