[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3247211, member: 112"]Paul there is absolutely no doubt that attractively toned coins have popular among a select group of collectors for a long time. But there is also no doubt that ever since the early 2000's, somewhere around '03-'04 - their popularity exploded exponentially ! I'm pretty sure that is the "fad" portion of it that Kurt is referring to. But, in more recent years that popularity has slowed down considerably from what its peak was around 2007 or early '08. Yeah they're still quite popular among a select group, and yeah that group is larger than it ever was before 2000. But it's also no where near what it was around 2007. Nor do the toned coins, in general, still bring the absolutely stupid money they brought back then. Now no doubt part of that is due to the entire coin market being a bear market from 2008 on.
