<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2356830, member: 26302&quot;]What is sad to me, and I have said it all along since toning became popular, is how many perfectly nice coins are ruined to create fake toning. Collectors should prize pristine surfaces, not the color. Pristine surface coins have always carried a premium. However, many of these from the 19th century came with toning. I think somewhere along the way new collectors confused what was desirable. Its the SURFACES that are desirable, not necessarily the toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now people just destroy coins by frying them. They can&#039;t even make decent fake toning. Pathetic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
