Thanks Cascade,
Based on the photo chart to rate toners, I would put the coin in the mid high toned range. I really do not want to get hooked on toners as I am still working on my PL and DMPL collection, but I already of had thoughts of doing a blue face collection of toners.

Yeah, I was thinking it's around mid to upper range. I've really grown to appreciate obverse toners. Nice pick!  |

That's an interesting link Cascade with lots of pretty pictures! The only thing I find odd is 656.9 Million Morgans an they estimate out of that number... only 10k toned?  |

Sadly, many of the original monsters were dipped by dealers and collectors alike when colorful Morgans were frowned upon. Yep, there was a time when cleaning coins was OK, but a rainbow Morgan. . . heaven forbid. Oh, the agony. |

Yup, when dealers bought bags from the treasury releases they would dip the "colored" ones to remove that "awful" toning.
Oh the humanity!
Have you read about the Pitman act yet. If not get a box of tissues first

Seems like the Morgans have the most spectacular tones. Maybe because they are large silver coins.

Have you seem this site yet slider? Great eye candy! No, I had not seen this site. Very nice coins. I am a little surprised that more Morgan's did not get into the top 100. I had tried to stay away from rainbow coins as the price can be outrages, but some of the rainbow's are simply amazing, and I am very happy that I do own one. |
