And toning does not always mean color, in fact color is the exception rather the rule. The most common toning for silver is gunmetal grey. Or black &amp; white if you prefer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, with a coin that is a 100 years old or more, for that matter even a coin that is 10 years old, being blast white is not natural. And it is definitely not original for the coin has been chemically treated to remove toning. And every single coin there is tones with age.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that is really the key, some may prefer blast white, but how can it ever be considered to be original when the coin has been chemically altered ? For I assure you, there is no Morgan dollar out there, not even 1, that is untoned unless it has been recently dipped. You may think it is, but if you were to compare it with a freshly minted silver coin you would find it is definitely not. It will, at the very least be some darker shade of grey than a freshly minted coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So even lovers of &quot;blast white&quot; coins are in reality lovers of toned coins. They just don&#039;t know it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
