Variety Hunter New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 6:09 pm Recently picked up this 1882 S Morgan dollar graded MS 63 by NGC and noticed these strange markings on the obverse of the coin. They are along the entire outer rim on the obv. Is anybody able to tell me what they are? maybe an explanation too. I'm fairly new to collecting Morgans so I'm still learning. Sorry about the terrible quality on the full picture, camera on the pc isn't meant for it lol. Report this Post to the Staff

Sunlight on the coin for a period of time. If this were a proof coin (Which there were none) then I would wonder about reflection. Just not familiar with this series. But the MD is the cause of those lines on the devices. Edited by coop 09/04/2021 6:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 09/04/2021 10:17 pm It's called pull away toning, common in toned BU Morgans. It's caused by metal flow along the devices near the rim at the time the coin was struck, changing the ability to tone. Report this Post to the Staff
