Not a MS, but I like the tone of this one. I couldn't get the camera to pick up all of the colors. I too feel that a beautifully toned coin can be more appealing than no tone at all. I cringe at all of the cleaned coins on ebay.

Most collectors pay premiums for nicely toned coins - just not into Federal that DEEP that I can tell artificial from real original toning assuming you still heve the cartwheel effect ... any other clues ... I should buy a book on this ... original vs. artificial ... I do own about two dozen toned Morgans ... I like this form of accumulation ... I really do ... no joke.

All I can say is WOW. Just wow. That brightened up my day! And the concentric rainbow. Drool.'''777 very very nice. Can anyone top these? I'd be hard pressed to see it!

All of the toned Morgans at the October Legend auction in Vegas are amazing. They come from a collector of toned Morgans. But soooo expensive!

It seems that toning is at it's best on MS60 and better coins, in it's RAINBOW version. The problem with rainbow toning over the long term is it's delicacy, and therefore visual instability. I have experimentd with acrylic spray used as a sealant, directly onto the surface of rainbow toned '64 Kennedy halves with success. The object of this exercise is to halt the devolvement of rainbow toning into a flat gunmetal apperarance over the long term. The sealant is easily damaged, and therefore the spray sealed coin needs further protection in a tight fitting clear screw capsule. If you wish, to remove the spray sealant is easily removed by a gentle time controlled soaking in acetone. The advancement of toning will then continue.

I sometimes like toned coins. Put this one in an old envelope blast white and forgot about it for a while.
