<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 940984, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with you that it is a preference and a somewhat arbitrary line. However, overdipped coins will not receive mint state grading if it has removed too much luster. I think the point some argue, (not me), is it the natural color has changed due to toning, then this is effectively damage to the luster.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are right about preferences changing. I liked toned coins when I collected American, and used to get discounts off of &quot;white&quot; coins 20-30 years ago. I put away a lot of pretty toned bust and seated liberty halves then, which unfortunately are just sitting in a bank vault today. Some day I will bring them out and enjoy them again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
