[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 2128228, member: 13650"]This page was highly entertaining. I laughed out loud a few times. I believe (as is often the case) that there's a major misunderstanding of terms. Between people who collect high grade, naturally occurring (aka real, high quality) toned coins and people who don't collect them, who assume that anything that isn't blast white, falls in the "toned coin" category. I see it clearly as two different things. It is perhaps why you have two sides to the argument that are so adamant that they are right. I don't know that apples to apples have been discussed for 32 pages now. Anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong but when I went to the ANA show in 2011, I honestly don't recall seeing much for toned coins there. And I looked at thousands. There were cases full of gold. Just about anything anybody could be interested in. I have no memory of any toned coin that stood out to me there. I could have missed a booth or have forgotten, but I remember the event pretty well. I also do not see many nice toners available at regular shows either. Usually none.
