<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2121557, member: 15309"]Paying a premium for toning is logical if you like toned coins. If you take all the 1946 Roosevelt Dimes in MS65, the population supports a price of $10-$15. But only a small fraction of those coins and the coins graded higher have rainbow toning. The smaller population (less supply) drives a premium price. Your problem is simply that you don't like toning and would be happy to own the blast white coin. Those who desire toned coins appreciate the eye appeal of the toning and the fact that the toning gives their coin a measure of originality that separates it from the rest of the untoned herd. Furthermore, you have some collectors who abhor the practice of dipping and seek coins with an "original skin." In my experience, these collectors tend to shy away from dramatic toning and look for much more mundane toning. These are the guys who actually like the tobacco spit stained coins that you described earlier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
