I purchased this coin on ebay.My question is would this be considered as album toned? If it is,would it be better left in this condition?It is a reverse of 1878 not listed corectly.
Not bad for 21.50.

Dose this ruin the coin?
Can the tone be removed so its not a total loss?

The coin is damaged from this. It can be removed by dipping the coin, it might not all come off, and the resulting surfaces will probably be dull and lifeless with limited or no mint luster. The coin might have been cleaned and hairlined from the beginning. Quite often coin doctors do this sort of thing to hide problems.

Throw it in the junk melt pile........
This would make the1879s second reverse the first die variety of the morgan dollars and a potentially low mintage coin.
All the seller did was destroy a potentially valuble coin with his lack of knowledge of the history of the coin itself.....or he could have made alot more money!Lol.
You can peruse some nice examples here. You'll notice that many have a "bullseye" look with more vibrant toning just inside the rim in a circle or semi circle.
