<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 875868, member: 18390"]Absolutely. Your posts do have an impact. Jeffersons are by no means my favorite design, but I have put extra effort in looking for nice specimens of that precise series because I have seen what a quality example of that coin looks like, largely thanks to your posts.</p><p> </p><p> I can find nice white coins but nobody wants to sell their toners. I think it's not so much a trend as a niche. Afterall toning can be the glue that holds a a very diverse collection together. Old coins, moderns, foreigns, I suppose even tokens and medals, they would all seem more unified if they all had spectacular toning. For instance I happen to like chocolate brown copper. It's not everyones cup of tea, but I think it makes for a really attractive coin.</p><p> </p><p> This is my favorite forum I've found for the hobby and it's interesting to figure out what folks are talking about. For instance I don't think I ever see any posts about the presidential dollars...therefore I figure they don't have much of a following. That may or may not be the case, but it is my perception, based on what is posted here. I'd never heard of mp cents before checking out the forum either, but I'm guessing the posts I've seen help keep the prices realized for those coins quite healthy. American coins in general have alot more information available about them, and it is the information that makes you feel like you understand what you are doing. I like foreign coins too but the local dealers don't have much in the way of inventory or information regarding them. If there was more "out there" about them, they would be more popular, because some are quite striking. </p><p> </p><p>So yes absolutely your posts have an impact on your coins, making them more valuable. Maybe you should publish a book so you can continue to afford them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
