    I ordered karma at a fast-food joint once, and it took them 30 minutes just to find it in the cooler. Then, as the clerk was handing it to me through the window, she dropped it on the ground.

    So you think I should just leave it alone?

    Yeah, I've been known to yank a few chains myself, sometimes to a fault (my wife has often admonished me: "people don't know when you're kidding, you do it with such a straight face!").

    I just try to keep it on the straight and narrow when I'm talking about real coin stuff. Hey, you never know when the kids might be listening.

    And happy holidays to you as well, sir.

    I’m not an expert, just a fan of the Peace coin. I think it’s nice.

    I can see from your photo what "Pull-Away" toning is. I'm curious now. What causes it?

    Take a look at the following link:
    http://www.jhonecash.com/coins/tonedmorgans.asp

    And you'll find this explanation:

    "It's a relatively new term to folks who have not dabbled in Toned Morgans before. Illustrated below is an example of pullaway effect. When a Morgan dollar is struck, the metal is pushed into the design on the die. Near the edges, the metal is being moved quite a bit and this stretching and pushing around the design out to the rims elongates and linearizes the metal restricting it's ability to patinate the way the other metal has around it."

    Well. The coin came in today. The color is a bright shiny gold color. Much nicer than what the pic showed. Dang thing is down right Purdy. LOL. Think I will just leave it alone. May have been used in a piece of jewelry at some time, although there are no attachment marks anywhere on the rim. I would call the details AU.
