<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 2129794, member: 42727&quot;][USER=28107]@Coinchemistry 2012[/USER] , while i love the neon green color of your 1886 Battle Creek Morgan, can it be considered rainbow toning or is it a monster toned coin?&nbsp; I realize the neon green toning is quite rare as well, but there&#039;s not a lot of color progression.</p><p><br /></p><p>My avatar is a beautifully toned 1882 S MS67 Morgan.&nbsp; I paid a premium for it, but I don&#039;t think it can be considered a rainbow toned coin.&nbsp; In fact, of all my toned coins, I don&#039;t know if I can consider any of them rainbow toned.&nbsp; Maybe this one:</p><p><a href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/jpcienkus/media/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66_zps244a0b03.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/jpcienkus/media/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66_zps244a0b03.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b560/jpcienkus/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66_zps244a0b03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/jpcienkus/media/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66reverse_zpsaee096bf.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/jpcienkus/media/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66reverse_zpsaee096bf.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b560/jpcienkus/Morgan%20Silver%20Dollars/1883OMS66reverse_zpsaee096bf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>To me it shows more of an album tone, than a burlap bag toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a lot of experience in toned coins, but in general, I agree with [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] and [USER=28107]@Coinchemistry 2012[/USER] that there are not a lot of true rainbow toned coins available AND they are not easy to replicate with chemical science.&nbsp; To be clear, I have some experience, but by no means do I consider myself an expert.&nbsp; I read all these toning threads with the idea that I can learn something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe there are many, many beautifully toned coins available at prices points that collectors of almost all means can enjoy, but to say they&#039;re rainbow toned is a stretch at best.&nbsp; What percentage of the market are rainbow toned coins, I believe it&#039;s &lt;1%. Now, what percentage of the total coin market do these beautifully toned coins represent?&nbsp; I&#039;d say &lt;5-10%.&nbsp; If we&#039;re talking about toning in general, than that percentage goes up considerably.</p><p><br /></p><p>After following this thread from the beginning, I think it&#039;s finally getting somewhere: define RAINBOW toning!&nbsp; After that, the beauty of toning, whether it&#039;s highly colorful or not becomes subjective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
