<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 988156, member: 9270&quot;]Is all toning a positive? </p><p><br /></p><p>Definitely not!</p><p>Two examples:</p><p>1. At the personal level - I&#039;m &quot;old school&quot; and therefore like my MS coins to be &quot;blast white&quot; and my circulated coins to be &quot;tattletale gray&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. At the TPG level - I had an 1894 Morgan that was XF. But it was toned <b>SO</b> dark that a respected TPG would not grade it. That was in the days of the body bag. The toning was so black that they could not make a determination about the nature of the coin&#039;s surfaces, hence no grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
