Alan Pillar of the Community Canada 1463 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 2:27 pm Looks like an obliterated previous strike, if so the first strike would be quite low on the blank, and coincidentally it almost lines up perfectly with the second strike. Rather befuddling indeed. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 09:31 am There really is not a good reference site for this. Use of the term is scattered throughout the various coin sites, auction archives and books. Generally, it is a term used to describe rainbow toned Morgan dollars - pull-away toning is a powerful tool to determine the authenticity of genuine rainbow toned Morgan dollars versus those that were artificially toned. Since copper and bronze tone to a lustrous brown, at a much faster rate than silver, you rarely see it on older 1-cent coins. But, leave a shiny new penny outside for a few days, with rain and sunshine, and you can repeat what you see in the original post - tilt the coin slightly at different angles, and the toning pulls in any direction you want...
