<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the_man12, post: 580165, member: 13371&quot;]Look up the definition of mint state in numismatics and then tell us what you think about toned coins not being designated as such. I understand that it is a chemical change to the surface of the coin, but it is that chemical change that draws collectors to pay 6x wholesale or even more. How is it the toning&#039;s fault that some choose to DAMAGE nicely toned coins by removing the oxide layer? Like Lehigh said previously, even &quot;untoned&quot; coins have an oxide layer, however invisible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
