<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26481241, member: 77639&quot;]Agree with you completely on value of using TPGs for authentication.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think most collectors are much better at grading than authentication … mostly because they’ve had little experience with fakes.&nbsp; Me … I’m lousy at both.&nbsp; I wouldn’t collect modern (i.e. non-ancient) coins if it wasn’t for TPGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, the right kind of toning can enhance value for many collectors … it does for me, but I won’t pay a huge premium.&nbsp; Novice collectors are more likely to shy away from “tarnished” coins, but I’ve known experienced collectors who go for blast white silver coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
