<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3247935, member: 15309&quot;]Then you do this and make a reasoned post about toned coins rather than your normal hyperbolic fear mongering.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do however disagree a little with your statement.&nbsp; ALL toned coins deserve scrutiny as to originality, including Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; Because common date Morgans are so prevalent in mint state at close to melt, they are an obvious target for coin doctors.&nbsp; Yes, bag toning is one of the most common sources of dramatic natural rainbow toning, but the attempts to replicate bag toning by coin doctors has yielded thousands of toned Morgans with other toning patterns other than the classic progression of color seen on bag toners and crescent toners.</p><p><br /></p><p>Contrast those strangely toned Morgans with tab toned classic commemoratives, 1957-58 mint set toners, target toned 20th century coinage from years in Dansco style albums.&nbsp; Each series has its own calling card so to speak, and some series just don’t tone up well at all.&nbsp; The most notorious series are Peace Dollars.&nbsp; Peace Dollars are common in monochromatic gold, mottled shades of russet and earthy colors, and even some electric blue peripheral toning which I usually attribute to secondary toning of dipped Peace Dollars.&nbsp; That said, finding a Peace Dollar with actual rainbow toning is exceedingly hard and everyone should be subjected to the highest levels of scrutiny.&nbsp; And if I sound a little like David Hall, then so be it.&nbsp; I collected toned Peace Dollars and even when I found a rainbow toned Peace, I wasn’t convinced the toning was natural.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see Kurt, if you wanna discuss this topic in a reasonable manner, you will find we are much closer in our views than you think.&nbsp; But that requires you to leave the propaganda and hyperbolic fear mongering at the door.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
