<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 8210681, member: 15309&quot;]They both look hinky to me.&nbsp; The first one seems to be mimicking an end roll toner with a thick rubber band around it, but the coin is AU and the colors under the rubber band are just not right.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is all wrong.&nbsp; Most Morgan toners are bag toned which limits most of the toning to one side of the coin and you see consistent color schemes and progressions from yellow-magenta-cyan.&nbsp; This coin is supposed to be a target toned album toner where the toning progresses from the center (least toned) to the periphery (most toned).&nbsp; And while this coin has the correct progression from yellow to magenta to cyan starting at the center, in my experience, that color blue mixed with violet is almost always considered questionable.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice to someone just entering this arena is not to even entertain Morgan Dollars that are the least bit questionable.&nbsp; Unlike most other series, there are enough genuine rainbow toned Morgan Dollars on the market, that there is simply no need to take a risk on anything questionable.&nbsp; So you might ask, what is &quot;questionable&quot;.&nbsp; My rule is if you have a raw common date Morgan Dollar with rainbow toning and an affordable price, run away!</p><p><br /></p><p>My other piece of advice is be careful who you listen to about this subject.&nbsp; You are soliciting advice from random people on a coin forum, and it is up to you to decipher the expert from the guy who has never owned a rainbow toned coin in his life, because both types are likely to respond to your inquiry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
