Here is one of those raw AT/NT Morgans you all were arguing about. I'll buy all of these I can while you guys debate over AT/NT

Been there, done that and got told I switched the coin. Absolutely, positively do not spend this kind of money on a raw toner regardless of the claimed return policy.
Where is the gold, orange, and brown????

On the lower right cheek and down into the hair.

You trumped my offer of FULL Greysheet bid for that coin.
That coin is a beauty!
I agree that raw on Ebay is a virtual nightmare. I have long pledged not to do it, unless I know the seller, or feel I'm absolutely ripping something.

"On the lower right cheek and down into the hair."
I noticed the same thing. However, the purple and pink "brightness" in the hair bothers me. Also, why does and should the purple and pink cut off so abruptly at the imaginary curved line starting from just behind LIBERTY and extending down to a point behind the ear? Those features, still in relief, in the cap to the right of the imaginary line abruptly become light bluish-green. Was this coin's obverse fully and directly exposed to the cloth of the bag for all those years it took to make the colors? If so, I would think that one would not expect the kind of color "abruptness" seen on this coin.
Troublesome.

The brightness looks like its coming directly from the pink and purple colors to me. The mint luster would be underneath any colors that the coin took on after being minted.

Are you trying to say it is rare to have an eBay seller say a coin you returned has been switched? If you are, you've had your head buried in the sand, it happens all the time.

I pity the fool who would pay $1475 for a sight unseen, raw, common date toned Morgan on eBay. "A" coins should only be bought when one can examine them prior to purchasing.
<< <i>No I'm just saying it appears you were born under a black cloud >>
You haven't even heard my story about a dealer who purchased a $15,000 coin from me four years ago. Now that is a real horror story.

I would say that you Eric are a fool if you have not heard of a return policy by a seller with 100% positive feedback

Feedback and return policies mean nothing. I simply won't take a chance on a raw toned Morgan if I can't view it in person before buying it. To advocate otherwise to some of the newer, more naïve collectors here is doing them a great disservice.
I mistakenly posted a short definition of "dazzling" here. I meant for it to go in my "vivid bag toned Morgan dollar" thread.
The 1881 S which is the topic of discussion in this thread is, in a word, unusual.
I invite you to post your very own one word description for the "textbook" 1882 S toner in my thread.

<< <i>I perfer this PCGS MS65 I purchased on eBay for $280 one morning when everyone else was asleep. No arguement as to rather it's NT or AT. There are deals to be had on eBay.
That's a nice coin I lost an 1896 that looked just like it on Ebay for $285.......I thought it was the same coin until I saw the date......you and I were going to have to fight over that snipe if it was the same coin
