[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3247097, member: 15309"]Rainbow toned coins have been promoted for decades, here is proof. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Mi3tQan.jpg[/IMG] You repeatedly make the claim that rainbow toned coins and the premiums they generate based on superior eye appeal are cyclical. But you never show any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise to support such a claim. I purchased this coin for $448.50 from a Heritage Auction on 4/28/2002 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/hFLoYRS.jpg[/IMG] I sold the same coin for $529 on E-Bay on 11/26/2012 [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/L0QKfoa.jpg[/IMG] That is a 10 year span where this coin maintained it's value based on it's toning premium. During the 10 years in between when I purchased it and when I sold it, I collected rainbow toned coins and never during that time period did the rainbow toned market crash. In other words, there was no cycle, there was no fad, there was no fetish, just a stable market with normal fluctuations. Additionally, I have continued to collect rainbow toned coins since 2012 and never in the last 6 years has the rainbow toned market crashed. So my question for you is, now that I have shown (anecdotally) that the rainbow toned coin market has been stable for at least 15 years, how long does that stability need to exist before you stop calling it a fad/fetish?[/QUOTE]
