    I eMailed this guy once and asked him what method he uses to tone these. He replied that he didn't know what I was talking about, that he knows nothing about toning, just finds them this way. Should I believe him?

    Benloe you have a good eye, that is doubling on the reverse, On Franklins the doubling is usually found on the E Plubris Unum, just as is seen on this half. What a shame...

    Okay, I placed a bid. Only because of the doubling. Can toning like this be removed by dipping?

    << <i>Youza Pushkin, that thing looks radioactive >>


    Actually, I believe, zapping it with radiation would add a pinkish tint. image

    I emailed him and asked if it was heat or chemicals that he used... said he thought chemicals.

    I think you are being somewhat harsh, reminds me of the MS 70 coin in the Accugrade grading set.

    The only way I've been able to get off heat-induced AT is by rubbing the coin. The color wipes right off.

    As long as it's pretty & you like it so what if it's AT.
    WOWW!! A lovely coin. Really beautiful. Full rich vibrant colors, worthy of the most descerning collector's cabinet & @ a value packed bargain price. These previously shunned black sheep of the numismatic community are poised to go nowhere except UP.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    image What Dog said. Hey Dog, you been out shopping, being that sly Dog you are, while people are watching the game? I'll bet you been finding some deals on those "Unusual" Morgans.

    Hi stman!
    Kinda dry. Just a practice bid to keep my bidding skills honed. This Morgan had a small fingerprint on both sides that the seller probably didn't see because it wasn't mentioned: Text

    LOL, yeah that's a beauty. Well, he said look at the scans you can see everything. And you sure can. I see you came in with a 2 second snipe and were too cheap to win.

    Naw, I think maybe thrifty? You know a good value when you see it, and it's obvious you won't go one penny over your perceived value.

    Good aggressive bidding there big Dog.
