What is your favorite type of toning on a Morgan 1$?

Bag, album, end roll, textile, envelope, or even older NGC and PCI green label slab toning? I know I left one type of toning out.
My favorite is end of roll toning.

    I am one of those people that aren't partial to either toned or blast white. I like it both ways (keep it clean, I still talking coins here).

    I tend to judge each coin as it comes to me, each needs to stand on it's own merits. If the toning is pleasing to the eye and the coin otherwise looks crappy, I don't like it, I don't want an interesting toning pattern to disguise a lousy coin.

    On the otherhand, if the coin really has character (strike, eye appeal and lack of disturbing marks) and the toning just adds to it. Then I am all for it.

    I probably didn't answer your question, at least not in the manner you wanted, but ... what the heck.

    My favorite type of toning in none, however, I have grown to appreciate light, natural toning. I totally dislike the dark tones.

    Nice bright rainbow bag toning with lots of green, like to see all the colors plus a touch of natural silver.

    I like almost all toning, but the one that has my interest currently is textile. image I'm looking for a nice one.

    I'll take it any way I can get it as long as the colors are nice.

    I find textile toning very interesting and most others listed too. Mostly I like pastel toning but some darker stuff too. The only thing I really don't care for is neon, psychodelic toning.

    Bag with a lot of red, followed by album/target. End roll and textile don't do much for me personally.

    None, unless it's in a GSA.

    OOPS!...I left out "no toning" as a choice. image
    RotatedRainbows....Gorgeous Bag toner.image I never see the color- emerald green on Morgans. The Bag toners have the most intense colors. I too love the contrast of color and blazing luster on the cresent toned Morgans.
    I am going to switch my favorite toning from end roll to bag tone.image
