OK, I've found a rainbow toned morgan I like in a PCGS slab

that made me throw up a little in my mouth

Not even close to worth it. First of all it's a Morgan, the most common and overrated coin on the face of the earth. Second, it's barely toned and only on one side. Third, it's a very low MS grade.

 

If you are only looking for a great toner, check out toned ASEs. Usually just a few bucks premium over clean, but more intense than morgans. People who pay large premiums on toned coins are just buying a moment in time, as even in a slab, they will eventually continue toning, and could be better for a while , or turn badly quicker.

 

Huh? Killer toned ase's are in the hundreds+

 

Not the fake ones!!

And the coins can be toned per customer request!

 

..$125 for a $50 coin?

 

So totally artificial

 

Basically every raw toner on ebay is an AT coin that couldn't get into a straight graded slab.

 

Wouldn't surprise me that's one source I don't use for coins tho. Only way I'm buying raw is in hand. What I don't buy local from estates and auctions or at shows comes from the big coin auctions

 

I agree, but there are one or two sellers on eBay that I would buy raw toners from with confidence.

 

This. It is priced more than 3x where I feel it belongs.

 

It's not a bad source, you just generally want to stick to graded coins on there. Most things are raw for a reason on Ebay.

I would believe that. There's some gems mixed in, the problem is just finding them sorting through the 99.9 percent of homemade toners

 

*Looks at finishing price for the auction*

 

That's true, but you can also generally count on the good sellers to continue being good sellers and the drek peddlers to continue peddling drek. So, once you find a good one, keep an eye on their auctions.
