I really do not know much about toning...Is this album toning??...It must be real toning because it is in a holder.

Placid

Chemical probably. Liver of sulphur maybe.

On a hot plate set at about 500c and with a lot of sulphur.

Hmmmmm------just wondering were I can buy a hot plate and some sulfer

I think that's a beautifully toned Morgan! I'll be interested to see what JBS has to say about it...

Ask aswimmer, he has all the good sources for AT equipment!

I just parted with one that was very much the same tone. It had been living in tissue for twenty years.

Well, the auction is still open. Bid a couple hundred then come back and let us know what ANACS, PCGS or NGC thinks about that cooked coin.

I think this is questionable toning as well, but I have seen Morgans with similar toning though.

Unfortuantely anyone can produce one with common dandruff shampoo.

How it got that way is a question for those with enough time to try to artificially tone coins,

but

the consistent color and intensity of the cobalt blue at the rim just isn't found when coins tone naturally. Interestingly enough, at the Fort Worth Coin show either last year or the year before, there was a dealer with 12-14 tables of coins in ACG holders, most of which were toned almost exactly like that Morgan.

Oh Boy!! I wonder if they bought this from ninz collectibles, they used to have 100's of these for sale in about any common date you wanted a year or so ago on the bay. It was kinda of amazing how exact every one looked regardless of if it was a Morgan or any other series they cooked up.

Despite the AT it does have nice luster.

toners

They ought to be shot

Jason: Thanks for the AT confirmation. It still looks pretty to me in the blurry photo...

I hate ACG just as much as anyone, but there is a chance that is is NT. I have a similarly toned (intense blue at rims) 1962 Franklin in a PCGS holder. It came from a hoard of coins that were stored in manilla coin envelopes. Interestingly, the Morgans from the hoard did indeed get QT'd at PCGS. But I know for sure they were real. And I got over a dozen MS67 toner Roosies in PCGS slabs from same hoard.
