I think its real......... Real fake lol

 

Fake Toning? No, it is really toned. I think you are asking if it is artificial toning and I believe it is AT.

 

Yea I meant AT but for a second there I couldn't think of the phrase. The colors are just too bright to be real.

 

LOL thats what i meant....

 

AT. colors are way off.

 

Genuine toning painted on the coin = Artificial Toning

 

I will also say AT. I sure like the deep purple though...and I don't mean the rock band from the '70s.

 

kind of odd, the reverse looks fairly normal... but the obverse, no siree

 

I can honestly say I've never seen a golden toned Morgan with a big purple stripe going diagonal down in the middle!
Not natural to the series, or any series. Artificially Toned.

 

I owned a purple car once (wife's idea, I wanted a red one) and it was almost impossible to sell.

Oddly enough it had the same paint job as that Morgan!
