<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1502335, member: 15309&quot;]I wanted to see if anyone could come up with it.&nbsp; Whenever you see a Morgan that is toned on both sides, you need to look for what is called &quot;toning correspondence&quot;.&nbsp; If the toning was caused by a single source, the most advanced toning on the obverse should correspond with the most advanced toning on the reverse.&nbsp; Here is and example of a bag toned Morgan with very good &quot;toning correspondence&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1886NGCMS65StarBattl-10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Notice that the most advanced toning on the obverse extends from the &quot;U&quot; in UNUM to the left of Liberty&#039;s portrait which corresponds to the &quot;R&quot; in DOLLAR on the reverse to the first &quot;S&quot; in states.&nbsp; The coin in Shane&#039;s listing does not show good toning correspondence.&nbsp; The obverse shows quintessential bag toning but the only evidence of the correspondence on the reverse is on the denticles over UNITED STATES.&nbsp; The rest of the reverse shows pastel toning with the lightest toning in the center of the coin.&nbsp; This toning is indicative of album toning.&nbsp; My guess is that the obverse of this coin toned in a sealed mint bag with an essentially untoned reverse.&nbsp; Once the coin was removed from the bag it was placed in an album which then toned the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee194/Kryptonitecomics/Consignments84/Consignments109206.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee194/Kryptonitecomics/Consignments84/Consignments109208.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is worth noting that toning correspondence needs to be evaluated on a coin to coin basis and not based on the orientation of the original design due to die rotations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
