<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 1052575, member: 21773&quot;]Interesting... I&#039;ve seen a similar response on another forum where I showed some of the Russian collectors the ebay auctions I posted earlier to toned 10 and 15 kopeks that fetched about 5-7x book value, and the response was also negative and critical of such coins. I think it makes the coin unique, though, I&#039;m not sure why it&#039;s not popular... I wouldn&#039;t pay 5x book value for it, but this 1912 50 kopek I&#039;d definitely do $50-60 on it:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=170576700077" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=170576700077" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=170576700077</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Who knows, maybe the Russian coin market will one day also hit a toning craze like the US coin market did, although I&#039;m not sure how likely that may be... I&#039;m interested to see Siberian Man&#039;s response as to how collectors abroad perceive the toning, maybe it is considered damage like you pointed out, Taxidermist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
