<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TDRismyname, post: 972001, member: 26939&quot;]The toning gives it away, along with the mushy appearance of the stars and eagle, the CC is also a big prob because it&#039;s not hard to drop 90% silver solder on that spot and use a dremel/silversmith tools to grind out CC... the coloring looks as if it was dipped in some sort of acid/base bath to bring out the tone, and usually when that&#039;s done it takes fractions of a second so the toning will be odd if it&#039;s not done perfectly. If it was daytime I&#039;d post my 1884 and 1885 philidelphia&#039;s to show the difference in a normal tarnish on a non-ultra-valuable morgan. my 1885 is covered in tarnish but the stars don&#039;t look bloated and there is no weird copper color to it, just black and silver. IDK how you get that tonage but it must be in the presence of some oxidixing agent other than moist summer ohio air. If that toning was real that coin could be worth a small fortune... but I think you&#039;re smart in not buying it. The guy who did it either did a great job or nature did a horrible thing to a beautiful coin, because it looked real to me for the first 10 min I looked at it, before I brought out my morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
