<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 671374, member: 15309"]While nothing about the colors or pattern immediately strike me as AT, the photos strike me as being enhanced (JUICED). I have seen those colors and toning patterns on Morgans before and actually have an O-mint Morgan that is similar. The toning alignment on all three coins is spot on. What I mean by alignment is the depth of the toning with respect to obverse an reverse. If the coin is most deeply toned at 11 o'clock on the obverse then it should be most deeply toned at 7 o'clock on the reverse. That holds true on all three of these coins. The colors in those photos just seem too vibrant to believe.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars%204%20Sale/MorganDollar1899-ONGCMS653119322-01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the second post in which you asked about the originality of toning and the seller's photos have been juiced.

If you buy them, you will probably be disappointed when you see them in hand. Additionally, the 1881-O is either very low grade and lackluster or has been cleaned. The other two appear to be in the MS63/4 range but that begs the question: why are they not in NGC or PCGS holders?</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't risk it with rainbow toned coins. If you want resell value, they have to be in an NGC or PCGS slab.
