<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2353755, member: 37839"]The purpose is purely educational, as I know that there are plenty of one-sided toned coins, but not generally of that toning pattern. As was said previously, blue album toning tends to be on both sides of a coin, or leaves a peripheral residue on the other non-fully toned side. It is a pretty unmistakeable kind of toning, and this looks suspicious to me for two reasons--one, the fact that the obverse is highly toned, and the reverse bears NO semblance of the color transfer. Two, the coin has a certain symmetry of toning, and a pattern of non-blended toning. In my 40 years of collecting Morgans, this is a general pattern that emerges. One exception to the above mentioned reasons is textile toning, where one side of the coin (either obverse or reverse) sat in a damp mint bag, and there was textile transfer to the coin--however, this toning pattern does not appear to be textile toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
