<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 2129327, member: 41863&quot;]You are also agreeing with me Vic. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a matter of perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can we agree that &#039;rainbow&#039; toned coins typically happen in the upper grade spectrum as a line in the sand say only AU-55 and better? (we know attractively toned coins exist below this but MOST are above that grade range). </p><p><br /></p><p>So we take an 1862 quarter for example. The total population of attractively toned coins is minuscule in relation to the total mintage of the coin. But if you only focus on where those toned coins mainly exist, the AU-55 and better range, your ratio is drastically reduced. You have 932,000 total coins for that year. You keep claiming that 1-2% will be toned. Let&#039;s go your route and be conservative. 1%, that would be 9320 toned specimens according to the statistic and your math (not mine). That&#039;s rubbish simply because there aren&#039;t even that many coins remaining in grades AU-55 and better. </p><p><br /></p><p>To further that, you have two extremely diverging schools of thought. The original skin chaser and the blast white collector. So most of the specimens from this era have been dipped, leaving very few original coins left. If you look at the population of original coins left I promise most of them will be toned or rainbow toned. </p><p><br /></p><p>So be honest and account for the attrition rate and factor in where rainbow toning typically happens and you can see how these coins are common enough. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most coins with &#039;original&#039; skin are toned. </p><p><br /></p><p>I love how you tried to talk about how the coins I posted were for high rollers and high class coins, but that&#039;s EXACTLY what toned collectors are. High class coin chasers. You can&#039;t say very few exist and they are rare and that people pay big bucks for them but toss aside my examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are only going to find rainbow toned coins among a certain class of coins anyway and they lay right along with these big boy coins. You aren&#039;t going to find rainbow toned dateless buffalos, lol. Or monster toners in bags of junk silver. They only exist above a certain level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
