<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 411136, member: 15309&quot;]This is a rather difficult question to answer.&nbsp; On a rainbow toned coin, a band of green is rather common.&nbsp; However, a mono chromatically green toned Morgan is very rare.&nbsp; Green is one of the last colors in the progression and the entire surface of the coin must stay in contact with the canvas bag for a very long time under the right atmospheric conditions.&nbsp; Not long enough and you get yellow or blue.&nbsp; Too long and you get violet and black.&nbsp; The photo below is crude demonstration of the color progression.&nbsp; The top 2 have not progressed enough and are yellow and light blue.&nbsp; The middle 2 are green but not the shade of green that brings huge premiums (emerald green).&nbsp; The bottom 2 show emerald green that has advanced too far and started to to turn dark with violet and black appearing.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/GreenTonedProgression.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I personally don&#039;t own a monster toned emerald green Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; I probably will one day, but they are very expensive and not always the most attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, green is a color that is the most difficult for coin doctors to create via artificial toning or so I read somewhere.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the science behind that last statement, but I believe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
