    I sometimes like a little gold toning on silver coins. While it is obviously a matter of preference for the buyer, do you think it's a detriment when selling. Guys like me a small minority?

    No, not necessarily. There are a large number of toned coins which, while they may not be stunners, are extremely original, and will attract the seasoned collector's eye.

    Count me in.... A nice even gold toning has a lot of eye appeal to me as well.

    Personally I always loved honey gold toning on silver coins. It is and always has been my favorite.

    It may turn some buyers off, but blast white coins will as well. Usually a gold tint would be a positive not a detriment

    All silver coins will tone as they come in contact with their environment. Some more than others depending on the quality or mix of the materials. I wonder about blast white coins: Were they kept from environmental exposure? Dipped?

    Are you skeptical when you see a blast white coin?

    This being said, to me toning is not a negative per se but some coins are more attractive than others when they tone. I have paid a premium for a coin I think has attractive toning.
