If you look, this coin has the white center, exactly as I described in my post above. However, because this cleaning appears to have happened a long time ago, and the coin has regained some &quot;skin,&quot; this is a look that some would be comfortable with. (Depending on how white the center is, less people will want it - more white, less demand)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Morgan is a prime example of a coin which was cleaned and then mistreated. Normally, the lighter shade of orange with the blues around the rim at the bottom would indicated to me a coin which was dipped and then not rinsed properly. However, combined with the odd red/purple shades at the top, I&#039;m led to believe that it was enhanced. This is clearly artificial toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
