JoeGlantz1 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/27/2014 1:40 pm Got this and a few Mercury dimes at a garage sale (all under melt) and I was wondering, is this fake toning? I have no eye for identifying it and I know I've read here that the colors are supposed to mix evenly if it's real toning so I'm not sure. Anyway, this is my second 1921D.

JoeGlantz1 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 01:13 am Jim, did later dates of morgans just not tone for some reason or? Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 07/28/2014 01:28 am Joe, There was a debate on this topic several years ago -- on another coin collector thread -- with several suggestions, without any conclusions. From my recollection, suggestions were: 1) The planchets were treated differently and hence did not tend to tone. 2) The cloth bags were of a different composition (perhaps lower sulfur content) and did not promote toning. 3) Storage of the 1921 coins at the mint was in a more controlled environment and did not promote toning. All of these are viable, and may be likely contributors. In any event, it is uncommon to find a 1921 Morgan that is nicely toned. This argument also applies to Peace dollars.
