    Congratulations! That is one I had in my toned Peace dollar grouping I sold at Great Collections.
    Good to see it is in good hands.

    Nothing too special, but it is a better date that I usually see dipped out, and it does have more color than the photo picked up:

    Been thinking of throwing this one up on the BST. How often do you see an AU peace with color?..

    Some real beauties shown here.
    This isn't as dramatic but it's my only Peace with any color whatsoever.

    What is the simpleton chemistry explanation of why Peace Dollars get solid toning far less often than Morgans?

    The Peace Dollar series was stored in canvas bags and initially rinsed using the same mechanism; however, preparation and storage were different in three critical ways:

    1) Silver dollar planchets were annealed using charcoal and coal heating sources prior to 1901, whereas natural gas was used after 1901.
    2) Moisture was a problem and water damage was common prior to 1900 with many original bags rotting. New vaults and better technology lead to drier vaults in subsequent years.
    3) Annealed planchets were dipped in weak nitric acid to remove copper oxide prior to coining.
