Hi All,
My sister sent the image on the Morgan. Looking for your thought's on it. Looks real close to terminal toning.

Fake, color, etc.

    Looks real to me. Grade would be XF but as others have stated it is quite unattractive.

    It's only interesting for it's silver content at this point.

    Strictly a cull. Exceptionally ugly. Far below XF in terms of a details grade.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Fire damage? I don't know.... it's at least worth the spot price of silver.

    Fine line between terminal stage toning and environmental damage. This one crossed the line....

    VF sharpness, unattractive, but the way some people rave about toning around here, I'm surprised that no one is doing handsprings over it.

    It is beyond Fugly and into a darker realm of hell. There is silver there, but for the sake of humanity, I would probably pound it into a round chunk of goo and bury it in the depths of mordor.
