Burlap Toning on Morgans

[ProfessorStacker]

I picked this one up on an ebay auction a few weeks ago. I got it for $350 which I talked the seller down from $400. There is clear burlap bag toning in front of the nose.

It's curious to me that you find burlap toning attractive. ok when a coin is rainbow toned as your $1550 example is, it is purely a matter of personal preference. i find then too gaudy.

However, in the example given above, the overall toning of the coin is quite nice, except for the feature you seem to find the most definitive and attractive; the bit in front of the nose. I think it actually spoils the visual appearance of the coin and would consider it a fault.

As for the square stain on the reverse; I think it's awful.

i appreciate we all have likes and dislikes and I'm not saying your preferences are in any inferior to mine, but you have posted this on a discussion forum and we are all entitled to out views.😊

ps i love morgans

I love a nice toned Morgan, I also prefer circulated Morgans to mint state, there is just something about a circulated uncleaned Morgan I cant resist! nice coin btw

I feel like the burlap imprint on this one made it irresistible. It's decades of sitting in a burlap bag preserved like an echo in time. This adds history to the coin and when light glints off the burlap tone it's beautiful.
