@hadleydog Thanks for the update. I personally thought you may have paid in the $2,000 - $2,500 range as I have NEVER seen a Peace dollar with these types of colors. I have seen a few toned examples (for big $'s) that don't even come close to the colors on yours. I am looking forward to you getting it in your hands...and more pics! Super congrats again! I don't think you over paid.  |

Ditto here. I was expecting the figure to be much higher. You did very well! Question: What causes the textile toning and why is it called textile toning? I posted a morgan awhile ago that sold for an insane amount of money. http://goccf.com/t/299842Fellow members described it as textile toning as well. You certainly don't see it very often on any coin types. Just curious about what causes it and the how terminology came to be. Just from the sound and look of it, I would assume it is caused by longterm contact with a sweater or other type of fabric. Edited by MikeF

Another drop-dead toner, hadleydog. Holy crap, really amazing! I've never seen anything close to this. It's 100% toned. Your price was great, too. You could flip this for twice that amount.

Thank you again for all the comments. Quote:

Mike, textile toning occurs when a coin has sat completely undisturbed and pressed against the mint bag for a very long period of time. Some of these coins will pick up the weave pattern of the cloth. You can even see the correct color progression within the textile pattern, the color of the 'spots' lagging behind the surrounding tone (orange spots on a pink background, pink on green). I find that kinda cool Edited by hadleydog

Don't you think that this coin deserves a "plus" grade? I wonder why not.

If PCGS had a STAR designation like NGC, you can bet this one would have it, and it would probably be a rainbow colored star at that. Hadley, I can't imagine you'll ever find a more monster Peace dollar than this. This is the 1881-S "moose" Morgan of the Peace dollar series. Edited by Darth Morgan

That's a pretty cool coin!
I personally think it's worth paying extra for stuff like that.

Well finally got the coin in hand, and I couldn't be happier. The auction pictures portrayed much darker toning near the rims, and did not show the blazing luster that really allows the colors to pop. Sorry for the poor pics (the best I could do with my cellphone), but they at least portray the coin closer to it's in hand look. I'm questioning whether the textile is simply elevation chromatics around the relief of the feathers, although it appears to extend into the fields which would confirm that it is true textile. I'll get a better look in the morning.    Edited by hadleydog

I know this thread is long dead but I'm new and just had to come and say that this is the coolest Peace dollar I've ever seen and would have bought it as well. My 5th grade daughter goes crazy for rainbow toned coins, but I don't have anything close to this coolness factor. I had to show her! Great Find. |

Here is a coin that just sold on ebay. I'm wondering if this is a similar effect. Look at the wing where that little ding is - especially the second pic.   Here is link: 144901274974 |
