<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2120815, member: 71723"]Nope, not at all. But here's where we differ I'm guessing. I don't feel that the toned one is the slam dunk preferable one. Why? Because there is a better than even chance that the toning is STILL active, and by the time my kid is 70, in 2065, that toned sucker will be blacker than Lucifer's soul. And that matters to me more than any short term gain. Again, I admit I am probably in the skinny end of the bell curve. My time drawing breath is not all that long, by comparison. What I collect is ALL about trying to maximize value for the next, or even the next one after, generation. Hence what "the market" says today is about as useless as anything gets for me. I'm trying to figure "the market" 50+ years down the road.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I don't need no stinking volcanoes to encourage my silver to tone. I have dairy farms all around me.

If you don't think brown splotchy stuff is getting upgraded and sold for gaudy numbers, you and I are obviously not looking at the same auction catalogs and prices realized lists.
