<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 655040, member: 112&quot;]Dangerous trap there, for the vast majority of &quot;white&quot; coins have been dipped. Of course they have been dipped specifically for the reason you mention.</p><p><br /></p><p>But don&#039;t forget, there is a very large and ever growing segment of collectors out there who prefer their coins to be original, meaning never been dipped. They want the toning regardless of how it looks. Some might call it patina, some might call it original skin. But in every case what they want is a coin that has been left alone since it left the mint. THAT is what they find attractive. It&#039;s not always that the color is pretty in their opinion, it&#039;s that the coin has never been messed with.</p><p><br /></p><p>But don&#039;t misunderstand me, there certainly are those who will only buy a coin with what they consider to be pretty colors. That is purely a chocolate and vanilla decision. The original aspect is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, in that toning has a huge impact on eye appeal, toning is definitely a part of a coin&#039;s grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
