Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2420585, member: 37839"]Honestly, except for the first one, I am really surprised that any of them graded.  It shows how subjective the toning market is.  I have had many toners that I looked at in PCGS and NGC slabs, and wondered "how the hell did this thing grade?"  The 79s is not an unusual toning pattern, but all of the others look to me like they were "assisted" in their acquisition of color.  Can I prove that?  Obviously not, but I do think that coins with that "Neon" quality, and dubious transition are suspect.  Once again, I will reiterate that all of them had "chemical intervention," and the 79s had the least amount done, so it is most market acceptable.  Toning is just too abrupt and vivid for me on all the others--it has the look of artificiality.  This isn't to denigrate anybody, just my opinion as someone with a lot of experience in toned Morgans.  I would have stayed away from the entire lot of them, as with the exception of the 79s, they are still questionable to me.  I do suspect exposure to gassing, and it is extremely easy to do nowadays.[/QUOTE]
