<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2120848, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t know where you got that information from, but it is wrong.&nbsp; Toning is not like a virus, it doesn&#039;t spread on its own.&nbsp; The rainbow toning on that Morgan Dollar was created by spending decades in a canvas bag in a bank vault.&nbsp; The obverse of the Morgan was in contact with the bag, and over a long period of time, the sulfur in the bag changed the concentration of H2S in contact with the coin.&nbsp; Once the coin is removed from the toning source (canvas bag), placed in a PCGS holder, and stored properly in temperature controlled atmosphere with normal levels of H2S, there will be no discernible change in the toning for many decades to come.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure why you are worried about the market 50 years from now, the chances that you heirs will keep your coins as opposed to selling them is pretty slim, unless you have already discussed it with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the brown mottled toning driving premiums, perhaps you could link me some examples.&nbsp; I have a hard enough time selling beautifully toned coins for premiums.&nbsp; And I certainly haven&#039;t seen coins getting higher grades based on negative eye appeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
