Subtle toning can, in my opinion, be attractive. I've got a MS63 1937 WL that has a pleasant golden hue on the obverse. But I see Morgans on eBay with "monster rainbow toning". I don't get it. I don't care for them at all. I certainly can't see paying inflated prices for one. And then there are the Franklins with the muddy gray toning that seems to be so common. They do nothing for me either. But that's just me. I'm a "blast white" kind of guy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
