Thoughts on this 1889 Morgan

Hi All. This is my sister's coin.  Thoughts on value? Looks like terminal toning.

I'd say 16-18 in value....

Mint mark on the reverse? Wasn't able to pull the rev image from the link.

Wow! Just in time for Halloween. That is one scary-looking Morgan!

Yes, that sure isn't pretty. You would need a 'CC' mintmark on the reverse (even an 'S' would help) in order to still have really good value.

I don't think it is natural terminal toning. It appears to me either like fire damage, or AT that has turned. If you have some acetone, give it a soak - if you have some dip, give it a bath. You can't really hurt that coin any more, but you may be able to improve it.

Jason is correct. You would want to dip that lady before the toning gets too thick and damages the coin.
