End Roll or Bag Toned?

Here's a neat 1884-O Morgan I aquired a while back. The pattern on her seems to suggest end roll toning, but the colors are more vibrant and consistant with what is normally found on bag toned pieces. I posted 2 photos, one to hopefully show the pattern and the other to show the color. What do you guys think?image

    I'm not precisely sure what it is, but I do not think this is a bag tone.

    Looking at it more, I can see it being an end roll stored in a bag or other container. The hard edges are the hardest for me to explain other than end roll.

    Endroll. The paper was folded in such a way only 3 flaps touched the coin at the top ½.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • Hadley, I'd say its from a wrapper fold. I tend to think of end roll tone from something like a machine wrapped roll. Dog97, anything specific about differentiating between the two?

    Before they invented rolling machines they used a wrapper. It's wrapper toned. image
    Machines make a uniform crimp with open ends that produce generally dark evenly toned coins while handrolled rolls have the flaps folded over in different paterns that make different colors.
