I have one Morgan that has bluish hints around it and has darker color in other places, I don't really like the toning at all on it and the only reason I bought the coin was because I needed the VAM upgrade this coin provided and they are few and far between in this particular grade (3 total in this grade both services combined). About a week after I got the toned example I cherry picked another one blast white graded by NGC (the other was graded by PCGS) in the same grade, just my luck. I now have 2 of the 3 ever graded and attributed this high by PCGS and NGC combined |

If you guys have any NT morgans I'd love to see them too! Please feel free to hijack this thread and post them!

So, what's the assigned NGC PCGS grade? Normally toned common-date Morgans are only slabbed when mint state but this coin looks to have some high-point friction that would suggest AU. How did NGC PCGS call it?
Edit: MS-63 it is; I guess they should know! The first obverse photo sure makes it look lightly circulated but apparently that's just the way the toning developed.

Nice color, I like it. Bryan1315, pictures? I'd like to see the one with the toning you don't care for. It sounds interesting. ANA LM-3175 |

It doesn't look circulated to me, its just hard to tell in those photos, the blue looks warn off in the photos but its just the coin shining.  Edited by master6238

Nice toner! I have several toned Morgan dollars but I remember my first toned one and it is still my favorite! Congratulations on your new acquisition. |

Wow Bryan that first one with the rainbow tone is nice looking, I really like the purple color on it.
I can see some green on the middle one too, its a nice green I bet it looks great in the sun.

Nice coin master, and welcome to the forum. I had thought that your coin probably looks very different with different photos, as your original photos made it look a little...strange.

Bryan1315, thanks for posting the photos of your dollars. The rainbow is very striking and the next one has mint luster so thick you can cut it with a knife I really like that one and the third dollar appears to have somewhat proof like surfaces and the color I find attractive also. I am one who prefers a very nicely toned coin over the same date / mint that is blast white, to me the color adds character IMHO. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

I also found these pictures I had taken awhile back on my computer. They are not Morgans but are toned. I have a couple more but will have to re-size the pictures and can't do it right this second   |

There is a controversial topic on the NGC chat rooms about toning. Long story short you put your coins in a box or an envelope with sulfur from matches and keep it warm with a heat lamp. I don't known how long it takes but it creates some crazy artificial toning. The controversy is that some of these coins ended up being slabbed even though NGC and PCGS supposedly have sniffers to detect artificial toning. Those guys on the NGC Forum are over the top about stuff like that.
