[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1572890, member: 29643"]Sadly, the answer of "yes" is pretty spot on to this question. (Natural) Toning is the result of a non-controlled chemical reaction. As such, you can end up with what some collectors consider beautiful toning (rainbows, saturated hues) or, more commonly, black/brown coins. The demand for such coins would be based upon the market that you're selling to. Some collectors prefer blast white coins (since you can fully see the surfaces and get a true grade), while others prefer the aged look and unique patterns that toning can provide. Essentially, this demand will determine the price. As for the grade being hurt, it's not _supposed to_, but it might. This is in the case of the brown/black toning that I mentioned earlier.
