Here's my toned 1896-P Morgan and I had to change a light bulb on my photographing setup with one that was cooler. So, I would like to know what you guys think the grade could be and if my photos are better or worse with the cooler light bulb.

Pretty nice coin. I'd say MS-65.

Fantastic toning. Obverse chatter might hold it to MS-64? Are those Reed Marks on the neck, or is it a scratch?

I'd say 64 also (maybe a + or ). Also the pictures could use a little more lighting to see the details better.

Does anyone else get artificial toning vibes from this one? Such vibrant and complete toning on both sides always raises suspicion for me, curious as to what others think.

there is a toning progression for silver

Yellow (gold)
Brown (an advanced yellow)
Blue
Red
Green
Purple
Black

you can see this color progression on surfaces of this coin and therefore natural. most AT coins tend to be more blotchy with hard lines between the colors and/or the toning appears to be superficial like you could scrape it off the surface. the toning on this one has smooth transition between colors.

I feel confident this is natural toning. I have several 2-sided toned coins.
