I might be able to buy few Morgan dollars quite cheap from this one guy. They all seem to have this kind of toning.

And since I am new to numismatics my question is: Is there anything odd about this toning or coin itself? And if not how would you grade it?

Thank you very much for your answers.

I'm really having hard time to find verdigris. Can someone pinpoint where it is located on this coin so I can also look it for other pictures he sent.

To me it looks like this coin spent time in a flip
that had PVC.

I am thinking the tone you are seeing is PVC.

The coin should spend some time in a acetone bath.

Hmm, on other pictures he sent me even I am seeing little green dots. Can acetone bath remove those and how harmful is it for coin?

And most important question should I stay away from these coins? (save little more and buy more premium Morgans)

Bad photos but the coin looks like it might be MS-64 and probably has PVC issues. Yes, soak it in Acetone and hopefully you'll be able to save this one.

I do not own that coin. Seller sent me those pictures and I'm trying to figure out is it worth risk to buy it.
