<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 525077, member: 15309&quot;]I agree with Categories 2 &amp; 3.&nbsp; Regarding category 1, what will happen first?&nbsp; The collapse of the toned coin market or the people that predict the collapse admit they are wrong.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mean any offense, but people have been predicting the collapse of the toned coin market for about 10 years now.&nbsp; Every year they make the same prediction and it simply&nbsp; doesn&#039;t happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have tried numerous times to explain why it will not happen yet my logic and reasons seem to go unnoticed.&nbsp; Collectors have always paid a premium for toning and this will continue.&nbsp; The size of the premium is related to the quality of the toning and it&#039;s effect on eye appeal as well as the price of the same issue devoid of toning.&nbsp; The lower the price, the higher the premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this may be semantics but you said there will be a lot of disappointed collectors.&nbsp; In my eyes, collectors rarely consider the resale value of the coins they purchase.&nbsp; They may consider it if they are over invested in coins, but for the most part, that is an area that affects mainly investors in rare coins.&nbsp; As a collector, I would love the toned coin market to collapse.&nbsp; Then I could buy all of them for cheap.&nbsp; I have no intention of selling my collection unless an unforeseen financial situation forces me to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
