Im not big into Morgans, yet, but I like it and is it a proof?

[McKinley-migration]

no. not for more than $15.

 

is it a fake 1885 P? your pics aren't too descript....

I like it based on the toning alone, if bajablu believes the dentils are squared and therefore he believes it to be a possible proof that could make sense but Morgans aren't be specialty.

[kryptonitecomics]

no and no

I once read that some forms of toning will eventually turn black. Though you can see a bluish tinge on the perimeter of both the obverse and reverse, I think this coin may have been dipped one too many times because someone didn't like the fact that it was turning black. The lighter areas just inside the perimeter make it look unnatural.

 

I don't care for it!

I like this coin overall. It probably wouldn't fit well with my coins for overall appearance, but I think it stands up well on its own merits.

The sheer, wild, untamed originality of the coin.

 

At least thats why i like it

I like the coins deep strike, Mike. Not necessarily the coloring but the hairlines and the eagle's feathers just seem to jump out. I have a similiar coin in an 1878 S, which seems to be coloring the same way, and has quite similiar strike. That is why I purchased this coin as every feature jumps out at you.

Got rid of MY "Chocolate Mountain" Silver Commemorative

 

Maybe I will replace it with a Chocolate Morgan

It is very cool that it is a proof, and that explains the good strike as well. Kudos to bajablu for catching that one. But I still don't like the color.

Me either thats why I kinda like it

[DJCoinz]

Just as I suspected. It has the squared rims and the toning is common to proof morgans...I like it. (thumbs u

Nice strike, but visually the coin doesn't do much for me.

[bajablu]

I knew it!

I actually like this Morgan Mike. I think the dark toning really looks like some nice dark blue.
