<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 975388, member: 26302&quot;]I would agree with this as well, original coins are, were, and will always be worth a premium. Tying &quot;original&quot; to &quot;toned&quot; would be a concern, since one does not mean the other. Maybe that is my confusion/concern. I own original whitish coins, and I own non original retoned coins. If you are meaning toned, original coins are worth a premium I agree. I would just hope new collectors would not get these two things confused and simply pay for &quot;a pretty coin&quot;. Among two original coins, I would not value a toned over a white, or vice versa. That is why I bought toned when they were cheaper, and if I bought US coins I guess I would buy original white(ish) ones now. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe &quot;fad&quot; was a wrong word, how about market preferences? The numismatic market goes in cycles, preferring gold, then old silver, then coppers, then old commemoratives, then late date proofs, etc. This goes around in circles, just like the stock market. I try to be a buyer of quality when they are &quot;out of fashion&quot; with the industry, holding them until they are &quot;back in fashion&quot;. To me, I would view this like that. Problem is, I waited until they were back in fashion, but still cannot get myself to ever sell a coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just curious, so is the copper market on a tone kick now too? I mean, is original red out of vogue and everyone want their sVDB&#039;s brown and toned?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
