I bought this coin several years ago and finally got around to taking some decent pictures(for my skills)
I was reading Sunnywoods thread about color toning progression and decided to get this one out and look at it again.I really didn't capture all the colors,but they give you an idea.What do you think of it?

    Nice toning but I don't like the giant bagmark across Liberty's cheek.

    I think it is an attractive piece.

    still too much color present to be a black beauty....but if you crack it out and give it some more time......nonetheless, very pretty reverse

    I think it has a really beautiful reverse. Great strike and nice colors. Good shot of it, too!image

    What stman said.
    That is a real Black Beauty stman.

    I really like the toning on your coin though TD.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    I think Morgans look nice in NGC.
    What's the grade?
