<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2825177, member: 71723&quot;]The OP&#039;s coin illustrates precisely why I don&#039;t and won&#039;t play the toning game. Everyone can look at that coin and see it&#039;s damage. Everyone can also look at a beautiful Lincoln from the 1940&#039;s and 1930&#039;s and see the gorgeous colors. Where I have a problem is this - where is the dividing line? I looked through a box of toned commem halves at a dealer&#039;s table in Denver. They all had gaudy grades on them, and some were just plain crusty ugly, and yes, damaged. I refuse because there&#039;s no standard to where toning ends and damage begins. So I just call it all damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
