[QUOTE="GoldNToned, post: 8210637, member: 134822"]Hello, I am new to the forum, and as my username shows, I am very interested in toned coins, particularly Morgan dollars. I want to get better at identifying naturally toned coins vs. artificially toned, and I have been doing a lot of research on the topic, but I wanted some opinions on some coins I found online. The first Morgan I have attached pictures of (with the double rainbow bands) I think looks naturally toned because of elevation differences, color progression, and that it exhibits some "pull away" near the dates and stars. The second one I thought is probably artificially toned because of the way it looks (lack of elevation differences, pattern) and the fact the seller had many coins that looked similar. Thanks in advance for any opinions you can offer, I'm always trying to learn. :-) Please give me any tips you can on this topic.[ATTACH=full]1440387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1440390[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
