<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3653149, member: 15309"]Again, that is your standard for grading, not the standard employed by the TPGs. Most of the Morgan Dollars I have owned have not been MS66, they were mostly MS64s with incredible rainbow toning. However, I have found three MS66s that I used to own that have surfaces that are not completely covered in toning to hide the luster/frost breaks (see below).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/vhMNcJD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lHcVwIH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/PWekk1h.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>All three of these coins have obvious luster breaks in the focal areas of the coin.
