<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1005775, member: 26302"]What a crazy man. I will state I have personally opened up rolls, back when toning was a bad thing, and seen Peace dollars like this. The ends ended up black on the side facing the paper, but the center coins looked like this. Many of us saw them, and the discussion was whether they were "too far gone" to save via dipping, (and thus off to the smelter), or salvagable meaning no surface damage once dipped. You must have seen these old rolls as well Doug. This "toning" was attributed to paper rolls, fresh silver, and a humid environment. Sometimes the paper even stuck to the coin surface. You do not see it on Morgans as much, but on Peace dollars to me its common for original coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>David Hall can call me a liar all he wants. If people are intentionally trying to replicate this toning, which like I said on a couple is borderline damage, then I am a sad puppy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
