<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3247996, member: 71723&quot;]Correction, Jim. ANA and ANACS are VASTLY different things, despite their common genesis.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your questions: I have never even once paid a premium for any toning, not a cent. I have never bought ANY brightly colored coin, except to prove to a skeptic that color adds to an NGC grade, all by itself. I dislike deeply toned coins, I literally can’t stand looking&nbsp; at them. As Paul knows, I do own quite a few slabbed coins in old small ANACS plastic and even modern NGC plastic, that are still toning in their slabs, and NOT JUST A LITTLE, either. I only own one PCGS mono toned Morgan dollar, and that dog is still toning, too. (Note: with the exception of a 2016 slabbed 64 Kennedy, every one of the above are ex-Teletrade) I still have never owned my first stable toned coin. Not one. Ironically, my Dansco album coins turn SLOWER than my slabbed coins do. Nope, I don’t understand it either, and I like it even less. I. Hate. Toned. Coins. Probably always will.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have never used a commercial “dip”, but I have used Kodak Stain Remover SR-10 for the same purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
