<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2418738, member: 15309&quot;]I worry about the originality of the toning on some of those coins.&nbsp; Morgan Dollars usually display bag toning which presents as a progression of rainbow colors and the toning is usually just on one side of the coin.&nbsp; These coins with the exception of the first display a color scheme (blue-violet-orange) that is very prominent on artificially toned coins and are toned on both sides of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I absolutely love the obverse toning on the 1881-S and the reverse although somewhat questionable, might actually pass muster with the TPGs.&nbsp; The surfaces look to be gem grade so that one is worth submission.&nbsp; The next coin (1884-O) also has good toning correspondence from the obverse to reverse and the color is not too over the top.&nbsp; It looks MS63-4ish to me and might be worth grading if the luster is as good as it appears in the reverse photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last two coins have what I would consider extremely questionable toning with lower grade surfaces or luster than the first 3 coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they have any chance at grading at either PCGS or NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The toning on the first coin actually reminds me of what you see on an album toned Jefferson War Nickel.&nbsp; I don&#039;t ever recall seeing a Morgan Dollar with target toning in pastel shades of lime green and pink.&nbsp; I really have no idea what a TPG would say about that toning pattern.&nbsp; I am leaning towards thinking they would deem the coin market acceptable and I would grade the coin MS65.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
