<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 299935, member: 112&quot;]You have to think of what causes toning, then it seems to make sense. Frankies &amp; Kennedy halves were and are still largely stored in coin albums. And as we know albums cause toning. And both coins were and are quite popular, so large numbers of them were stored in albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Peace dollars on the other hand have never been popular - they still aren&#039;t. So comparatively speaking, only a tiny fraction of the numbers of coins (Peace) were stored in albums as compared to Morgans, Frankies and Kennedy halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>But even with the small numbers of Peace dollars stored in albums comparative wise, you would still expect there to be more toned examples than there is - but there just isn&#039;t. And even though Peace dollars were not stored in bags in numbers anywhere near those of Morgans, but there were still many that were. And yet we still don&#039;t have any numbers worth talking about. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I have always attributed the lack of colorful toning on Peace dollars to the different surface finish of the coin since it is really the only possible explanation left.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
