<p>[QUOTE="Sundance79, post: 2880781, member: 84413"]I love a beautifully, even toned coin. But this is not one of them. Frankly, I don't care how original that toning might be, it just isn't appealing. I see a lot of toned coins that go for high premiums that I wouldn't put in my safe. Yet I know some collectors seek them out. Like Morgans with the bag pattern toning. This weekend I bought a beautiful Type I Buffalo for $100 more than a similar coin with no toning. The one I bought had a beautiful even gold tone. The one without any toning (it looked like it was minted yesterday) had a dead look in comparison. </p><p>I just don't understand the appeal of coins that look like they have a creeping fungus on them - no way!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
