Here is my BC Morgan and mgoodm3 has nailed it which I was never able to come close to doing. The coin has incredible semi-prooflike surfaces and just drips with colorful "Pop" luster.

    What I really like about that pic is that you can actually tell what the coin really looks like.

    If you're unhappy with the coin I'll be more than happy to relieve the pressure from you.

    Beautiful!

    A BC Morgan in a PCGS holder, way to go.

    Is that some textile I see around the ear and cheekbone?

    << <i>DizzyFoxx, why did you leave commems?! >>



    For a number of reasons and I'll detail a few... I began to feel that the premiums for heavily toned examples did not carry sufficient weight behind them. I know there are many who will say that there is a "price for beauty" but I just began to feel that those who were willing to pay the high price for beauty were so few and far between and it is such an incredibly thinly traded part of the hobby, that I no longer felt comfortable continuing being a part of it. In my opinion, it began to become just a novelty and not a legitimate hobby endeavour.

    Also, I'm quite frustrated with the whole upgrade game which I won't elaborate on it other than to say I just don't understand how sense is made of it all. In my opinion, a coin's grade is what it is, period and end of story.

    I have always been a hobbyist in many fields and don't get me wrong when I say that I LOVED the toned commem hobby when I was participating in it and enjoyed the fellow enthusiasts along the way. I have just decided to concentrate on one of my other hobby interests which I feel has a much more substantial foundation.

    It's quite possible, knowing myself, that I may still dabble in toned commems in the near or distant future. But for now, they are just simply a hobby specific that I once was a part of and very much enjoyed.

    It's got some of the most beautiful textile toning that I've ever seen with amazing colorful contrast.
