<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2117981, member: 15309&quot;]The rainbow toned coin market didn&#039;t exist in the 80&#039;s.&nbsp; Back then, artificial toning was used to hide flaws on coins in order to achieve a higher grade.&nbsp; The practice of artificially toning coins in order to boost eye appeal and drive a premium price didn&#039;t start until the mid to late 90&#039;s.&nbsp; Are you claiming that someone in the 80&#039;s artificially toned that coin to look exactly like a bag toned Morgan Dollar when there was no way to profit financially from his efforts? </p><p><br /></p><p>Rainbow toned coins are not &quot;made up&quot; as you and the OP like to say.&nbsp; They are the inevitable result of years of storage in an atmosphere conducive to toning coins, such as sitting in a canvas bag in a bank vault for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They were kept in the back because coin shops only have a limited amount of space in their display cases and most collectors were not interested in toned coins back then.&nbsp; They preferred freshly dipped blast white coins.&nbsp; You probably think that your little joke is clever, but the joke is on you.&nbsp; The chemistry lab was in the back.&nbsp; They used the lab to dip toned coins and make them white so that you and everyone else would not know about toned coins.&nbsp; Then they selected the nicest toned coins of the bunch and held them aside for their clientele who had a specific preference for toned coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So what your saying is that when you see a coin, you can determine method of storage and intent.&nbsp; Ok, how did I store this coin and what was my intent?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BQ1892BU-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was blast white when I purchased it.&nbsp; And for the record, I would not do a guest spot on Coin Vault, but I would accept a full time position.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So you think that it&#039;s because we disagree?&nbsp; More like the fact that you think a Wayte Raymond holder is a &quot;Wyatt&quot; holder.&nbsp; Someone with extensive knowledge of toned coins would not make that mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
