[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 711143, member: 112"]The die preparation was different and the pressure was different. The surfaces of a Peace dollar are unlike pretty much any other coin we have. The satin finish Proofs and modern satin Mint sets probably come closest but even they are different. The reason a Peace dollar doesn't have the same luster that a Morgan has is what does it, the flow lines are much more shallow, the surface is smoother. So it doesn't tone the same and it very seldom turns colorful. If you think about it, it's the reflection of light at different angles that creates the color.
