Message:: [QUOTE="toned_morgan, post: 3214668, member: 97258"]My god those graders' eyes are on a vacation!!! That's hyper obvious. The problem is, once it's in a holder, it must be original. That's the problem with well-made artificial toned coins. Once they get in that holder with a normal grade, they're all of a sudden original toned coins, until one person cracks it out to get a higher grade and realizes that the $500 they spent is wasted. Also I have noticed that the prices that toned coins go for will forever go higher and higher because of the "Toned Coin Effect" (just made that up). It's when if a coin, for example, is sold at $100, the buyer expects to be able to sell for a couple bucks more. So that same coin goes for $140. And then it goes for $160 because the buyer had the same thought. And so on and so on. Also, the "High-Price Toned Coin Effect" (made that up on the spot too) is useful when you need to make a lot of profit. If you buy a coin for $50 and you put it for sale at $150, the "Toned Coin Effect" comes into play, and the possible buyer assumes that you paid a bit less than $150 for it. So they will be willing to pay $150 because they think it is more valuable than it really is. Please tell me if you understand or you can relate to what I just talked about.[/QUOTE]
