[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1863570, member: 15309"]Luster is the effect of light caused by the surface of the metal. While I believe that surface variations can have some effect on the growth of a silver sulfide layer on the coins, the major difference between the two series is the storage method. And most of the vibrantly rainbow toned Morgan Dollars that I have seen are the result of bag toning, not album or envelope toning. The Peace Dollar that I posted was almost certainly an album toned coin. But the colors are still nowhere near as vibrant as a bag toned Morgan.
