<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1595488, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t think that is a common rainbow pattern for a Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; It certainly isn&#039;t bag toning.&nbsp; It appears to be album toning but there is no toning correspondence from the obverse to reverse.&nbsp; If this coin toned in a typical album that used acetate slides, how did the obverse toning progress so much more than the reverse?&nbsp; Perhaps the coin was stored face down in a folder type holder.&nbsp; Mike (Raider34) has already made these observations, I just thought they were worth repeating.</p><p><br /></p><p>The toning looks questionable to me despite the fact that it shows NT indicators, specifically the absence of toning creep.&nbsp; The toning does not continue to creep when it reaches an elevation change.&nbsp; Notice how the denticles and lettering are not toned and the toning at the edges of the devices is different than the fields.&nbsp; This is definitely a coin I would need to see in hand before paying such a premium.&nbsp; I always held the opinion that if there was something that bothered you about a rainbow toned Morgan Dollar, save your money and wait for the next one.&nbsp; While true monsters are rare, there are still enough out there that you don&#039;t need to compromise your standards ever.&nbsp; I do think that the date may have something to do with the price tag.&nbsp; Most monster toned Morgans are common date bag toners, not album toners like this example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
