<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 6550624, member: 43872"]Does the OP's coin have added value or not? People will buy what they like, and pay what they want to. What to me has no added value, to someone else is worth a premium. Everyone is free to make up his or her own rules for what is collectible or beautiful. I don't like toning regardless of the color (it is surface altering environmental damage), but someone else might have a collection of "beautiful" (in his or her eyes) toned Morgans for which they paid a fortune. If it brings them joy, that's their business and I am happy for them! I wouldn't pay a dime premium for a doubled die variety that I can't see without a strong magnifying glass, although I would stick one back in a 2x2 as a curiosity if I got it at face or as a gift. Personally, I think lamination errors are interesting, and I might pay a very small premium for a nice one. On the other hand, if I were looking to profit by selling a coin, I would have to consider the likelihood that someone else would pay a premium. What I like would have nothing to do with it. It is unlikely that a serious collector or dealer would be willing to pay anything extra for the OP's coin. On the other hand, it is a genuine minor error and who knows what it might bring on ebay or one of the other wilder markets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
