<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2120770, member: 71723"]Yeah, I think so too. I guess I just came "wired" to expect rationality. Maybe a few too many Leonard Nimoy performances watched, eh? I thought I understood the need for technical grading to give way to market grading - ugly shouldn't rank higher than attractive (the 58-62 change issue). Then all this toning stuff essentially creates two different grade/price curves for any coin - one for whitish, and one for tone-ish. I thought the idea was for there to be only one. It simply can't be done with this much disagreement about toning. There are at least two whole worlds colliding, and nothing ANY schmuck says will convince me I need to pay a premium for brown splotches on a coin, just because Hall's boys say I should.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I don't "revere" some of this field's demi-gods as much as I laugh my buns off at them.
