    I don't like the colors and can't say I've seen them like that in any of the top 3 holders as NT.

    I say AT.

    When a silver coin tones naturally it does not leave the devices untoned at the edges. For instance,
    the stars on the obverse have nice little untoned outlines around them. Hmmm, not the way silver
    tones naturally. There is no reason that the natural toning of the silver would omit this part of the coin.

    AT all the way

    Yep. So many giveaways on that one being AT'd. Too bad, nice coin there to start with.

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    I was browsing ebay and came across this GEM....the blue caught my eye (as well as the BIN price) and although I thought AT, I figured I'd see how the Board felt.....and the result is pretty clear! image

    I was just wondering if the above statement is accurate, because I have seen many silver coins where the stars are untoned and they are in top tpg holders (whether that means anything). I was wondering if Tom can comment on this?image >>




    That statement is not entirely accurate....in a lot of cases the stars on a Morgan dollar obverse have an untoned "halo if you will" around them becuase of the flow lines etc that were created when the coin was first struck. Those area typically don't tone at the same rate as the rest of the coin and in some cases may not tone at all. In my experience...the presence of these untoned areas around devices tends to lend critibiality to the toning being legit as when chemicals etc are applied you tend to get 100% coverage of color in all areas.

    I say market unacceptable, therefore AT. If just the reverse was toned the way it is, I'd say NT, but the obverse looks wrong, though not as bad as many AT'd Morgans.

    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    I am a bit split on this one.

    My brain is telling my AT, so I'll go with that
