<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2820559, member: 15199&quot;]I do not think that the items you mentioned much affects&nbsp; the difference in toning. This is a comparison of the surface of a Morgan&nbsp; MS state with a Peace MS state. The top one is 100X&nbsp; and the bottom one is 400X with a light ( Not an USB) lab microscope with surface incidental lighting. Since toning characteristics are directly affected by diffraction of the surface layers, note the jagged flow lines of the Morgan than the subdued flow lines on the Peace, so More intense coloration will be on the Morgan than a Peace dollar. Once you see the actual surface of coin , the reasoning becomes more focused&nbsp; on the press/die/pressure, etc., than the above. M.O. of course. The photos are mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>100X&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Morgan&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Peace</p><p>[ATTACH=full]662154[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>400 X&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Morgan&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Peace</p><p>[ATTACH=full]662155[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
