<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1985252, member: 112&quot;]Why ? You pay premiums for coins because you like them, right ? If say a coin has exceptional luster for the grade, is high end for the grade, and you really like it - is that coin not worth a premium ? Sure would be to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing for toned coins. If I find the toning attractive and think the coin is special because of that toning, I&#039;d pay a premium for it. I wouldn&#039;t go ga-ga crazy like some folks do and pay 10 times book, or more. But yeah, I&#039;d pay a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see I have known for years, decades even, that anything that mother nature can do to a coin, that man can duplicate. But so what ? If you can&#039;t tell the difference between what mother nature did, and what man did, then how could it possibly matter which was which ?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the thing about toning. The natural process that gives a coin its spectacular color is the same process that a guy doing AT toning uses - just faster in most cases. The chemicals react with the metal on the coin, in exactly the same way, in both cases, to create the colors we see. It&#039;s chemicals that are causing the toning in natural toning. It&#039;s chemicals that are causing the toning in artificial toning. There is no difference between them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how can it possibly matter ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
