<p>[QUOTE="09S-V.D.B, post: 171265, member: 4379"]If a way to beautifully tone silver coins were revealed to the collecting community, a huge number of collectors would be angry. After all, people now pay HUGE premiums for common coins with crazy colors, sometimes 10X what the coin would normally sell for without toning. In my opinion, revealing this would be a good thing, since the [NATURALLY] toned coin market is way too volatile and vulnerable. The collecting community has seen 'coin docters' who can tone coins, albeit by artificial means, AND manage to get some of those AT coins slabbed by top-tier TPG's. Even after that, many toned coin collectors refuse to believe that the beautifully and uniquely toned they collect can be duplicated by some bored guy with a chemist's degree and a [insert your preferred method for toning coins here].[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
