Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6526 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 3:30 pm I think that it comes down to what you consider nice toning. MS- 62 but I love it Report this Post to the Staff
johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 3:39 pm PL for me - most every time. Too much toning on a Morgan looks like a circus. I will admit that some of the gently toned coins do have beauty. ... IMHO Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5177 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 4:13 pm I myself lean more towards PL, as with toning you don't quite know what it will look like years from now (since toning is a continuous chemical process). While a proof-like field most likely will stay PL. Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 4:55 pm I would go proof-like. Proof-like fields on 100+ year old coins are an amazing testament to the survival of a coin and to the care taken in the minting process Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 5:00 pm I like both PL and toning. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 6:46 pm Also with toned coins you never know if it is natural or artificial toning. If I collected toned coins I would only want NT coins and I can not tell the difference. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 7:45 pm The appeal of a toned coin is extremely variable. I would choose a gorgeously toned coin over a PL coin, but if it's just an average nice toner, the PL Morgan wins. Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 9:11 pm Yeah, toned is a wide open specification and PL is defined. It would completely depend on the "toning" for me to choose this over a true PL graded Morgan. Report this Post to the Staff
