Is this textile toning? (frankie)

I'm interested in buying this for an example of textile toning but wanted to make sure before i buy it. Thanks

I think it's album toning, but take that with a grain of salt.

Edit: Meant album toning.

I wish I had a better monitor (on a laptop now )... could it be streaked toning?

Don't know, but it sure is interesting. I'd buy it, just for its unique qualities.

Wow, it sure looks like textile toning. If it is textile toning I rarely see it so complete; it covers the whole surface of the coin. Also, it is unusual to see textile toning on a Franklin. It seems to be more prevalent on Morgan dollars. I can see it being a possibility that it sat on canvass for many years.

I don't see a textile pattern in the toning but that could be limitations of the photograph or my monitor.

My understanding of textile toning is that it is caused by the bags that Morgans were stored in. Examples I have seen have small circular dot or cross hatch patterns. Someone had a photo up last weekend I think. Your example, while interesting, doesn't seem the same to me.

That does have an intersting look to it but I have never seen or heard of a Franklin having textile toning, if it is then the texture of the bag was smaller then the type you see on Morgans. As you can see the Morgans have larger more defined dots in the pattern then the Franklin has.

It's very rare to find any coin other than Morgans with textile toning patterns, however, I do have a Roosie with textile and I sold a Washington Quarter to a board member that had textile, but I personally have never seen a Frankie with it. I'm not saying there isn't one out there, but I don't think this is one of them IMO.
