The toning pattern and color scheme are classic for a bag toned Morgan Dollar and the interaction with the raised devices where there is a different color is actually an indicator of natural air transfer toning. Textile toning on Morgan Dollars is extremely rare even on coins that are 100% toned on one side. It can't be used reliably to determine the originality of the toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>The surfaces are pretty clean but as the OP has pointed out, there are areas of weakness on the obverse that are concerning and without seeing the coin in hand, there is no way to judge the luster of the coin.

You might lose $50-$100 if the coin is AU or the toning is questionable in hand, but if this coin ends up in an MS holder, it will sell for $300+ easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
