I have not seen a Morgan with this appearance, and think of it as 'tarnish' rather than toning. Is this something that, e.g., PCGS would remove when restoring the coin? To the best of my knowledge (and someone with actual experience with the conservators may correct me) but I don't think they "repair" ugly tarnish. Without seeing pics it's difficult to judge, but there could well be collectors out there that would prefer your "blue" coin to an untoned example. The other concern I have with "blue" coins is the possibility of some fool having used chlorine-based bleach to attempt to induce artificial toning. Bleach forms an ugly layer of silver chloride, rather than silver sulfide, and silver chloride is notorious for not coming off without aggressive cleaning; regular anti-tarnish agents don't touch it. Quote: Nothing personal SAP but Australia is a killer on P&H from the U.S. I don't think they'd have liked you posting hazardous chemicals to me, either. They're a bit fussy about which chemicals can go through international post and how they're packaged. I've tried to order some of BadThad's magic juice a couple of times, but nobody will ship it internationally. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

You can order on ebay and use the global shipping program but shipping to AU is expensive no matter how you slice it. If you do buy using ebay, drop me a message so I know it's you and I'll include something extra to take some of the sting out of the shipping. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Tarnish is just oxidation, but more specifically it is sulfurization. The effect is more pronounced when the alloy has more copper in it. Report this Post to the Staff
