Hello would I be right in assuming these 2 are the same grade? I'm not well rounded in grading yet but from what I can read toning is only good to a collector who likes toned coins but it doesn't effect the grade? Would these 2 essentially be both graded XF or just the shinier one even tho in my eyes they look identical in ware. Both having scratches on the cheek.

I would say they are in the same grade ballpark. Between AU-55 and AU-58, leaning toward the latter.

757, you are showing a lot of nice Morgan and Peace dollars. Don't be so quick to think they are junk silver. Post pictures of all you have and we will let you know if they are junk.

Both are near enough to the same AU grade,
but
I prefer the appearance of the first of these two coins.

Toning blemishes hold the eye appeal of the second coin back a bit.

Acetone won't remove the tone marks. Only dirt or glue residue.
