[QUOTE="digitect, post: 1495078, member: 38157"]Makes sense if you collect coins for as an investment or for business purposes. I totally understand now. This is purely a market demand driven interest based on the fact that a lot of people like toned coins. I guess my interest in coins has always been their intrinsic value as interesting historical objects and the odd relationship between their rarity, demand, and condition.

The problem with artificial aging is that it can't be reversed and it may someday go out of style... like distressed furniture. ;)[/QUOTE]
