The color is fascinating and I have seen this color toning before though it is uncommon. A great conversation piece.

good conversation piece but no one ever said toning had to be attractive!

I too have seen a few morgans with that type of toning. Probably album toned, and I believe the ones I have seen have also had a big old fingerprint on them as well.

I think I have its twin ... a PCGS AU58 1878-P VAM 200. Gorgeous blue rim toning on the obverse and a bright reverse.

I think finger oils blocked the toning in the obverse. The recessed areas and those blocked by letters stayed clean so the toned areas oxidized. I think there is a remnant of a print at the front of the neck. Not sure why the rim and reverse didn't tone.
