Sidekick-CA Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 11:04 am Is this some sort of corrosion/contamination or just part of the normal toning? Held in hand, it look like normal toning. It's already been slabbed and graded but I'd be interested in your opinions. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 11:06 am Yes that toning looks very normal for a Morgan dollar. Most likely that edge was exposed to a bit more air than the rest of the coin. I don't believe the toning on this coin would give it a premium v/ a "blast white" dipped coin but it won't hold it back either. PS: What did this grade? Looks to be at least MS-63 Edited by fenton 12/21/2010 11:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 6:05 pm Looks like normal toning. We get so use to seeing blast white silver that been dipped that normal toning starts to look abnormal! MS64 obverse. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Sidekick-CA Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 7:30 pm Thanks guys. Good to hear it's just normal toning. Thought I might have had a problem needing attention.

wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 12/22/2010 11:09 am Quote: Can you splain this to a newbie? Not quite sure what you mean. Toners often fetch larger premiums (often huge if the toning is very attractive) than their blast white (or coins that lack toning or patina) counterparts, that are sometimes assumed to be dipped since many believe older coins should have some form of toning. So what Fenton meant was that your coin wouldn't really carry a premium over another identical coin without the toning, but the toning wouldn't devalue the coin either, which I agree with. Nice coin and eye appeal! Report this Post to the Staff
