<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2128156, member: 15309&quot;]So you were not a coin dealer, not a collector, but you continued to attend more shows than anyone else in the world until 2009?&nbsp; Are you a professional &quot;tire kicker?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Your contention is that because I don&#039;t attend coin shows, that I don&#039;t know what percentage of US coins are rainbow toned.&nbsp; You make this claim despite the fact that I have told you that I have scoured every major auction for over a decade.&nbsp;&nbsp; That means that you are claiming that the dealers on the bourse floor carry a much higher percentage of rainbow toned coins than are in the actual auctions.&nbsp; But most of the dealers have websites, and I can check them as well without attending the shows.&nbsp; So what you are saying is that the people hoarding all the rainbow toned coins are dealers who sell on the bourse floor but don&#039;t have websites.&nbsp; And guess what?&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe that either! </p><p><br /></p><p>The fact is that rainbow toned coins are a very small percentage of the total number of coins available, even in the Morgan Dollar series.&nbsp; They are not common.&nbsp; If they were common, they wouldn&#039;t drive a premium.&nbsp; This is just another one of your lame attempts to impugn my credibility because I don&#039;t attend coin shows.&nbsp; But the fact is that instead of &quot;kicking tires,&quot; I have actually been buying and selling rainbow toned coins for the last decade.&nbsp; I know the market, the availability, and prices of rainbow toned coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t need to attend coin shows to learn what I already know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never heard of any auction company that sold rainbow toned coins exclusively.&nbsp; I have never seen it, never heard it word of mouth, never read about it on the internet, and never read about it on a forum, or a chat room.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Omg, now you are claiming there were multiple auctions per week exlusively made of rainbow toned coins , and this went on for years.&nbsp; And despite the fact that I have been actively buying toned coins for over a decade, I never once found one of these auctions. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We finally get the reveal after all the dramatic lead in. Teletrade held weekly auctions on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000">Now, would you like to tell me which of those auctions was exclusively for rainbow toned coins?</span></p><p><br /></p><p>All of the major auction houses hold auctions comprised exclusively of toned coins?&nbsp; Which auction houses did this?&nbsp; Heritage has never done that.&nbsp; David Lawrence has never done it.&nbsp; I have never seen Bowers Merena or Stacks Bowers ever hold a rainbow toned only auction.&nbsp; If these auctions exist, then I want to see the links proving it.&nbsp; Furthermore, what are you defining as the beginning and height of toned coin popularity? </p><p><br /></p><p>Typically Doug, you employ your &quot;omniscient&quot;&nbsp; tactic at the end of the debate when you are losing.&nbsp; This time, you are coming out strong claiming that these things are true, refuse to give proof, and call the rest of ignorant because the claims you are making are supposedly common knowledge.&nbsp; I have been posting stunning rainbow toned coins on this forum from the first day I joined.&nbsp; Are you really going to try to tell me that I don&#039;t understand the toned coin market and didn&#039;t know where to locate toned coins?&nbsp; Do you really think that it is believable that someone who spent as much time and money on toned coins as I have would be unaware of auctions that were exclusively for toned coins?&nbsp; You seriously need to stop, you are embarrassing yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ffffff">PLEASE ANSWER THE MONEY QUESTION IN RED!</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
