<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 522274, member: 15309&quot;]That toning looks AT to me.&nbsp; It could be the result of improper storage, but I think both TPG&#039;s would bag it for not being market acceptable.&nbsp; I have never seen a graded Peace Dollar with either that pattern or color scheme before.&nbsp; The pattern is definitely larger than textile toning on Morgan Dollars as seen below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1887NGCMS65130133-00-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I immediately become suspicious when a common date coin worth less than $50 appears on the market with extreme unusual toning.&nbsp; If those Peace Dollars were 1928&#039;s, I would be much more willing to entertain the improper storage reasoning.&nbsp; As it is, I would declare those coins trial pieces of a coin doctor.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your theorizing, the dots should appear darker as they do on both the Peace Dollars and the Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; The dots are just bigger because the weave of the patter was not as tight.&nbsp; The toning process needs oxygen and there is more of it where the cloth is not touching the surface of the coin.&nbsp; Therefore that area should tone more rapidly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
