<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 724961, member: 5233"]The reason the pattern is different on a Peace Dollar than a Morgan is due to the surface characteristics of the coins. Peace Dollar's have a much smoother surface than Morgan's on a microscopic level...as a result, the Morgan has much more refractive properties when an oxide layer as built up, this results in the colors. Because the Peace Dollar is much smoother, it's refractive properties are greatly diminished with the same oxide layer present.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
