Is this desirable toning on a Morgan?

I am a total novice when it comes to these, but I find this attractive.

Is this likely envelope tone?

Is it worth any premium for toning?

Any comments appreciated.

    Attractive? Yes. Worth much of a premium? Not to me.

    Certainly worth more than a plain old white one that doesn't have nice luster.

    Love that copper/blue toning, don't know if it would fetch premium levels.
    Someone out there would desire that coin.
    Looks to be in 63/64 range.
    Are you looking to sell it?

    Nice looking Morgan.Some people including myself would rather buy toned coins if it's pretty,(for lack of a better word)and willing to pay a small premium for average toning up to large premiums for outstanding color.Other people would rather have coins that are white and have the as minted look.IMO

  • I like the look of that coin better than some of the BC coins being discussed in the other room.

    Bushmaster8, the coin you posted is most likely album or envelope toned. Although it possesses a lot of character and I quite like it, the toning carries little or no premium as it did not yet developed the greens and reds that place it in the money category.

    I like the color, but wouldn't pay a big premium for it...
