Rainbow Toning's effect on price

That is a tricky question - to me the answer is yes, but then again - define unattractive toning? What I consider unattractive others consider attractive and pay big premiums for it. I like the very subtle toning where luster is blazing - not the dark toning or wild colors that seem to hide the luster. It is all a matter of opinion.

Thank you for resurrecting this thread!
This was a very good thing to read, as are all of Lehigh's threads!

 

Very nicely written Lehigh96! :smile Those of you who know me are aware I'm not shy about paying up for the right coin: hya:


Both have been sold:

 

FWIW, I like the 22-P on Island Coins' site. The rest, not so much.

You betcha ! Or the coin won't sell at all. Nobody wants an ugly coin if there are alternatives.

 

Resurrecting because this is a good thread that explains demand of toned coins

 

I've never read anywhere that owners of BC Morgan's claimed their coins have faded. Could you please post a link where this is mentioned? I don't believe it to be the case.

 

My thanks, too, for resurrecting this. Fortunately for me, the market is soft because of the economy. The 83-CC which I use for my avatar came nowhere near the premium prices one would have expected to pay a couple of years ago. I had placed my max bid in 4-digits, but when the hammer dropped, I ended up winning it for about 2X.

I hear allot of people talking about the positives of toning but there can be
Negatives as well!! Some toning can be ugly and unattractive that would
Drive the price down!!

 

Looking at the prices most toers are bringing, I would say the market is picking up again.

 

ewwwwww... just how much does a toe go for these days?

 

Now that's a GREAT comeback. Good Job!!!
