chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/16/2008 10:12 pm Don't know what happened to my message? What I'd like to know : Is this legitimate toning or is it artificially created- I never saw only half of the obverse being toned like that. I'm intertested in maybe bidding on this coin.

jeffreyice1 Valued Member United States 381 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 04:22 am Looks like someone dipped half/half the coin in cleaning solution! Edited by jeffreyice1 06/17/2008 04:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 12:50 pm Good point! But now, by messing with around with the toning, its really a shot coin! They were probably better off just leaving it alone. Report this Post to the Staff
NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 2:08 pm I don't believe that the toning was dipped, if it were, it would be discolored on both sides. The straight line gives it away, but it could be due to the coin being partially covered by an acidic sheet of paper. I would think this is accidental rather than an attempt to hide something, but anything is possible. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 3:16 pm Hi NGiles! You think this is natural toning? interesting- I read somewhere, can't quite remember where though, that Morgans can have all sorts of toning in odd ball configurations ,let out exposed to sunlight in one area of the coin only etc, I wish I could remember where I saw that?

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 06/18/2008 10:27 pm I wouldn't say that it is natural, just that it wasn't dipped. something may have been brushed on, or something set on it that accelerated the toning process. Report this Post to the Staff
