Just thought id share this 1880 O I came across. Different looking tone to it and seems like a nice high grade

That looks like envelope tone to me.

Interesting coin. The surface patina on the top looks kind of strange though. (Green area)

I enjoy the looks of your Morgan. It's different in a somewhat unusual and attractive way.
I do think it has just enough environmental damage though to keep it out of a problem-free holder though.
(Wonderful album coin.)
Im not sure if an acetone bath would help or hurt this one. The coin is riddled with what appears to be pvc and it looks to have progressed to the point where the surfaces may be permanently etched. That would be my guess, but I’m just a mere mortal.

I'm pretty familiar with pvc and there is not any of that on this coin, this is just the toning.

Opinions will vary, I see a very unattractive coin with environmental damage due to improper storage. As the saying goes there is a seat for every butt there is a home for every coin; I would not be the home for this coin.

Looks very badly tarnished. No go for me. Looks like it could use a dip. Even then if pvc probably a body bag one.
