1886 Morgan toned

[mtnstyne]

What do you think of this recent pick-up? I've had a hole in my album for a while and bought this while in a waiting room and only seeing the pics on my phone...impulse buy. These are the sellers pics and it is in an ICG slab.

I was looking for the 0:).I think your going to love it.64/65.

[Coinbuf]

Not really fond of the toining myself but MS64 seems about right for the grade.

[SWNGC]

64 and I like the look

[JStull]

Nice toner, not a lot going one really, I'd say a nice 64.

[L1ncolnF4n]

ICG called it a 66.

 

I'd call it a 65, but the reverse is hard to grade because of that color.

 

Nice looking coin though...

[bsshog40]

Looks like it has some nice color but a couple too many nics on the obv puts me at 64. Nice Morgan!!

[coinman_23885]

I would call it a 64. Among other things, luster is a grade limiting factor as are the nicks alluded to by everyone else.

[johnny9434]

ill go with a 64 as well. maybe a 65

Thumb print on the reverse around the word "United" and a few (though small) nicks make it look like an MS64 to me. Based on the color of the area surrounding the coin, it appears the white balance is a little to the "red shift" side in the images. It will likely be less pink in hand -- but I love that circle of blue on the obverse! (thumbs u

[mtnstyne]

The thumb print gave me pause, but I am guessing it will be barely noticable in hand. This will get cracked out and put into a Dansco for my year set.

 

ICG graded it 64 which is what I would have guessed as well. To be honest I haven't had much issue with ICG grading on morgans. I am hoping the color pops in hand.

[L1ncolnF4n]

Interesting. I must have been overlooking some marks for color.

 

Still think it will look very nice in hand.

[Walkerfan]

It looks nice enough---not the best toning that I've seen but still decent. I'd call it a MS 65.

Are you missing Kansas yet? Being a white type guy, I like this toner. Not over powering. Especially the obverse. The devise shows up well and the outer tone rings bring a touch of added class. For me, the reverse is a bit much and somewhat covers the eagle. Easily 64 and might get a 65. Difficult to tell without it in hand. Such is the way of toners.

 

Hope all is well with you. Thanks for the service you provide our country..

Looks like a MS64 to me.

[mtnstyne]

Chet there are things I miss about Kansas, but as far as that goes I don't plan on making my home in Kansas or SC which is where I am now. If all goes well I will end up back home in Montana.

 

Coin is in hand, it is a lot darker than the photos would lead to believe, not sure if I like it now that I have it in hand. Gonna have to think on this one and get the wifes opinion.

[coinman_23885]

My advice to you is this: Darkly toned coins are often difficult to sell, and if you have reservations now, you will likely regret not returning it later. I would return it personally.

I'm not a fan of a lot of toning but this one is nice with electric colors. Give it a 63 star. :-)

[Kurtdog]

I like her at MS64. Then, again, I'm not a real big tarnish fan. I could see her at MS65, though, for that tarnish market.

[Mary B]

MS-64 to many cheek dings to make a 65

[yonico]

MS64 seems right and I like it a lot

[Kamillion]

i like it.
