<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 517893, member: 112&quot;]As you are probably aware Jim, the answer to a question is often overlooked because it is just too obvious. The answer to this question that one gets most often is that the two coins tone differently because they have different surfaces, which is the same thing I am saying. I have merely explained why they have different surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Not silver coins, the Sackies would be the only ones I can think of. Morgans and Peace dollars didn&#039;t either. The wash theory concerns the planchets only - pre-strike.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No you are not off. When&#039;s the last time you saw a vibrantly toned circ Morgan ? Or just about any circ coin for that matter. Yeah, you can find a circ coin with some colorful toning occasionally, but it will be minimal and they will be few and far between. For a coin to tone colorfully the luster must be there, otherwise it just doesn&#039;t happen. Just as the cartwheel effect is created by luster, so is the rainbow effect of toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
