<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1559802, member: 26030"]It's hard to pick a favorite thing that you love about toning in a series; but for me, it has to be when you see this sort of "lava flow of color" into the recesses of a coin design. I am not 100% sure why this effect happens. I bet someone on this board might know the physics of this. It almost looks like the color melted and flowed into the low spots, like molten rock or some sort of colorful liquid element flowing like a river through the valleys. This is just beyond beautiful. I am not sure if this type of toning happens in other series, it probably does, but I seem to see it most of the time in the Morgan Silver Dollar series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Example #1: Pink molten lava flows around cool green mountains ...
