<p>[QUOTE="cecilstarcher, post: 578420, member: 18428"]The thrust of my comments was directed to those who contend that toned coins are "Mint State". They are not! Toned coins are not struck at the mint, they are the product of improper storage, exposing them to environmental conditions that causes changes to the once mostly unblemished surface. Labeling them as "Mint State" is incorrect. A thumb print also changes the surface and is non-collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
