Here is a photo of the 1909 cent I got in change yesterday (I hope you can see the date, it's had a good long run in circulation!):

For my typeset I picked up last week, before the Santa Clara show, several dollar Type coins; a Sac, an SBA and an Ike. At the Santa Clara show I pickup up a 1914 Barber dime in MS64.

Just picked this up for my half dollar collection,

I hope to have it in hand by next weekend:

 

Well, its stands to reason, I can only get images posted half the time - IF I'm lucky.

 

Four tries, and I'm thru.

 

Link onto the above attachment - its the last variety I needed for my primary Barber Half Dollar collection.

Irvin,

 

So any explanation as to why just the obverse on this coin is toned, just interested. It is a very nice looking Morgan in great condition. thumbsup2.gif

Irvin the toning doesn't look bad to me, although there's definitely something going on under the toning on the cheek/face. I'd like to see the coin in hand before coming to a conclusion one way or another. As to the coin itself, it looks like a fun piece. As long as you didn't pay a major premium for the toning I think you are fine.

 

BTW, here's a really good article on toning:

 

Toning thread

 

As to one sided toning, that is VERY common amongst bag toned Morgans. Basically one sided toning occurs when one side of the coin is exposed to the bag.

Thanks for the link Sy,yes it does have contact marks on the cheek,i had forgotten about coins laying in the bags and toning on one side thanks for reminding me. I paid no premium. Less than 63 money. thumbsup2.gif

I agree, the toning looks like it may be covering up some type of build up on the face and neck, and in front of the neck. Would be curious to see the Rev.
