These coins are really starting to command a lot of money. I don't know how some people would prefer a blast white coin to this?? This coin is still in the GSA box.

I have to agree that they are commanding a lot of money. While that's certainly a nice coin, I'm one of the folks who would prefer a "blast white".

I like a white coin as much as the next guy.....but these coins just do something for me.....I think they are very unique and you don't see 2 coins toned exactily alike.

Very lovely coin there LD! I understand your point about the individuality of the coin. Though I must confess that I am a "blast white" lover myself.

LD, I would take a coin w/color any day over a blast white one. That is one sweet lookin CC . I only wish they would have kept some halves in those vaults (only 50 of each date).

What do they call them? I was at an flea market type store today and looked over and he had a bunch of those sitting in a locked cover. He let me sift through what he had, but me being really new at this I didn't know what was really worth what. I did buy a couple of buffalo nickels, a couple of nickels with a big "V" on the back, some pennies with "one cent" written on them and some really cool looking quarters. I paid five bucks for one of the quarters so I probally got ripped off I am sure but I had never seen one before. None of his stuff was in MS state. I will have go look at what I got and edit this post so ya'll will know what I am talking about.

I love toned Morgan's. Toned over blast white any day (as long as the coin isn't toned black).

Awesome rainbow! I have a few toned Moragns but nothing like that. Odd that they considered them tarnished and priced them lower when the GSA sold them.

It's a real beaut.

Yes, that would have gotten put into the Mixed date CC catagory and sold for $15. If it wasn't a CC it it would have been put into a flat pack and sold for $3 in the mixed circulated group.

yeah....funny....now the debate is wither to crack it out of the GSA holder and slab it....or just leave it like it is

Aren't there slabbing companies that just add an extra label over the GSA holders???

Not too sure though...

Yes - NGC does.

I have a few feelings about toned coins.

A lot of blast white coins from the 19th century I won't 'trust' unless I can look at them or have someone who knows more about original surfaces than I do look at them and render an opinion.

Although a lot of toned coins nowadays I'm uneasy about, especially if it is amazingly multi-colored. A coin that looks like my avatar is something I'm usually comfortable buying off of ebay, but then again someone could artificially tone a coin to look like that, also.

For me, it's always a case by case basis, and I don't generally pay extra for a toned coin. I'd pay 'less' for a blast white one if it looks strange to me.

I'm not a tone appreciater either -- I say, "Mr.Redfield, get that peach juice off my cartwheels!"

Some like the blazers, but I prefer toned coins. Pretty colors are a plus, though ordinary gray shades are fine with me too.

I'd leave it in the case and just have them grade it that way. Just a personal thing but I like the look of Morgans in the GSA cases.
