<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 8490450, member: 22377&quot;]For some reason it has become standard practice to put a premium (in dollar terms) on obverse toned Morgans. There are some that say it is rarer to have toning on the obverse. The Jhon E. Cash website has the following explanation:</p><p>&quot;There are more reverse toned coins out there with beautiful color because the surface is flatter than the obverse. There is less elevation between the fields and highest points of the design which results in a smoother gradient of the particular band of the spectrum to flow across.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Is that true? It seems to make sense but I don&#039;t know if I fully buy into the reasoning.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of color bumps for grading, I&#039;ve seen it on both obverse and reverse toners. I do think TPGs are more willing to give it to obverse toners though because of the prevailing thought that they are more valuable/scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
