<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2348407, member: 69760&quot;]I&#039;m not referring to heavily worn coins, milk spots, carbon spots, etc. (unless you like those - e.g. sentimental coin you kept in your pocket). I often prefer some tarnish and maybe <i><u>some</u></i> very light wear on older coins, because it gives it character. To me, it&#039;s sort of like getting a bulls eye toning on the coin, since toned coins aren&#039;t technically perfect (no coins are technically perfect, even the MS-70 ones from an absolutely no toning, no tarnish perspective).</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I think this preference is on a different level compared to perfect, blast white, high grade coins. I like both, but they&#039;re apples and oranges to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, on newer modern coins, I prefer &quot;perfect&quot;. On older coins, some character to the coin is a nice crowning touch. Though, I&#039;d still prefer a perfect Peace dollar over a tarnished one. So, I think that it depends on the series and type of coin, such as the coin in my avatar. I&#039;d prefer that color and tarnish with light wear on that coin. Strange of me, I guess. Anyone else?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
