fasttalker27 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 10:21 am I have seen several of these Liberia silver dollars with the Morgan obverse. Many of them are highly toned. What causes these in particular to have vibrant toning over a regular coin? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 6:05 pm Differing types of silver coins do tone differently. I suspect it's a combination of the particular Mint wash, and the surfaces as struck by the different dies. The alloy is essentially the same; the differences have to be a function of the process.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 6:23 pm I've always noted how you could pick a Trade dollar out of a pile of Morgans of the same date from across the room; they seem to tone much more darkly. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 7:06 pm Many different factors will effect the rate/type of toning. I believe a lot of it has to do with the strike (die pressure), slight variations in the metal composition and (of course) environmental exposure. Lincoln Cent Lover!
