    IMO, I think slabs are a waste of good money on modern issue silver coins.

    Well, I got my set in. The proof looks pretty damn good. The RP has some light stray markings that you can see on certain angles. I guess I can see it being a borderline 69/70.

    " . . And once the 70s begin to tone, and they will tone, the difference between the 69 and 70 coins will become even less obvious. . . "

    Off topic: why is it silver will tone\tarnish, however at coin shows I see silver coins that are very old but look like they were minted last week.
    The dealers assure me the coins were not wizzed.

    But, in all likely hood, they were cleaned in some accepted way shape or manner at some point. You are talkin' slabbed ones, right?

    I mainly talking about raw coins. Some of these coins are 60 to >hundred years old but they look pristine.

    not all coins tone the same. a lot of it has to do with how the coins are stored. If the coins are stored in paper, plastic or other material that reacts with the metal, it will tone faster. A lot of times coins weren't really stored properly decades ago, which contributes to the toning.

    you can dip toned uncirculated coins quickly, which removes the toning, but the coin still looks uncirculated afterwards.

    milk spotting is different from normal toning as well.

    I wouldn;t have a problem buying graded uncirculated coin that has started toning. To me, it increases the eye apppeal, but to each his own.

    I don't a problem wih toned coins either. I do have a problem with dealers misrepresenting their coins.
