<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2088528, member: 26302&quot;]&quot;Command a premium that has stood the test of time&quot;? No sir, that is not correct. Toned coins have not always commanded a premium. In my lifetime there were periods where toned coins were always worth less than white, untoned examples. It is not true all coins have to tone, toning is effectively proof a coin was stored in substandard conditions for a time, that is all it means. Toning is tarnish, its effectively DAMAGE. While in the past decade there has been what I would call an irrational love of toning, bottom line its damage to the coin that can be avoided with proper storage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you had said &quot;pristine, untouched surfaces have commanded a premium&quot; you would be correct, but that does not mean the coin has to be toned to be classified that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
