  Is the scan in black and white rather than in color?

  When in doubt, don't.

  Nope Dennis, that's in color!!!!!!
  
  I've been seeing more and more of these show up, i guess with the prices nice rainbows are bringing, these people think they can call any coin not white a "rainbow" and hopefully someone will buy it......

  Whatchu talking bout Willis?
  I see a lovely monster rainbow Morgan with textile toning & toning breaks. The scan doesn't do the coin justice!
  .

  Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  There might be some blues greens and reds that are alot more vibrant and colorful than that scan suggests
  
  some scanners do a very poor job of catching the color in slabs

  Yeah but, you guys need to remember that squirrels, dogs, and cows don't see colors the way that humans do.
  Seriously though, I think the seller gets in deeper trouble by stating that there's plenty of hairlines as well. I know he's trying to describe the condition of the hair detail, but this will hurt even more.

  I don't see anything "Rainbow Toned" about this coin or any others he is selling for that matter.....
  
  The problem is not with the seller it is with your computer monitor, if you just play with the buttons enough you will see colors start to appear.
