Bag-toned Morgans will only have toning on one side since that was the side exposed to the elements. This Morgan here was wrapped in paper with other coins for decades, which caused toning on both sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]864379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]864380[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
