I really don't care who "dabbles" in toned coins. The real toned coins are sold in Heritage Auctions. They are the biggest numismatic auctioneer...
[img] [img] I sold this coin to @robec a few years ago.
It’s hard to tell sometimes.
Don’t they require you to take a statistics class as an economist? And it works in your favor, certainly almost every rainbow toned gem Morgan...
Since everyone went into crickets mode after I suggested a way to prove it, I guess I will just post my results. E-Bay Current Listings: 1)...
