While not very scientific, my approach to toning on coins is to remember the colors I saw in the 1960&#039;s and 1970&#039;s and if a new look appears, it&#039;s artificial to me. This is kind of an &quot;old school&quot; approach and I may be wrong, but unless you believe global warming has created new colors for coins, it just seems illogical to me that new colors would suddenly appear naturally on coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...I never saw a single Rainbow toned Peace dollar in the 1960s or 1970s, but of course I saw thousands of rainbow Morgans. Perhaps the silver was a little different, or handled a little different. You certainly don&#039;t see the white spots on Morgans that you see on 1922 and 1923 Peace dollars. Anyway...that&#039;s what I think.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
