I'm kinda new to Morgan collecting and had a hard time finding a nice 1882 I liked so I purchased this one from Heritage

What kind of toning would this be....For some reason I'm liking this look on the Morgan! Maybe it's what I expect a 100 year
old plus coin to look like.

Got some nice photos of both sides that pretty much nail the hands on look of the coin....This coin is a Keeper! I love the look

On the obverse in front of the nose it looks like the proof of an album Morgan of the past....A toned collectors fingerprint most likely from
when inserted into an album....I know that fingerprints are a no no on coins....But it's cool to me.

Is there any documentation of the Great collectors of the past that have fingerprints? Would be cool to know if it once was part of
a specific persons collection

Thanks,
Ken

I may be wrong(not the first time) but looks like target toning.End roll?

I would guess album toned.

I think if it was an endroller it would be un-toned on one side?

Wayte Raymond albums produce greens like that.

This was the hardest coin I have ever photo'd so far. Pretty much changes colors when tilted at diff angle's. Maybe animated gif
action for this one....Hmmm

I still have not gotten a good shot of the Obverse yet.

When I first saw the coin my first impression was that it was a Collectors Coin maybe part of a great collection of the past.
It was why I purchased it. White coins are cool but very common also.

I'm thinking album toned. It just doesn't seem like something that would occur in a bag.

I agree with the album assessment- and the toning looks nice!

Updated the hands on photo.

Wondering whos thumbprint is on the coin? Looking for possible ref material if their is such a thing on collectors prints

Nice tactile toning.
