<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 980471, member: 26972&quot;]But wait.. First, I was not kidding. I consider myself knowledgeable.(sp!) And, I most certainly am a collector.&nbsp; I do not and will not, ever see any difference in a toned coins value whether it be NT or AT .&nbsp; That is my story and I am sticking to it!&nbsp; Those silly coin doctors of begone eras and their sulfur laden albums that created the bulls eye toning.&nbsp;&nbsp; sheesh... </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW - Is there even a clear, easy to understand, concise, widely accepted definition of what Artificial or Natural Coin Tone is? I should Google?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It only &quot;ruins&quot; coins for those who feel a coin is more valuable untoned.&nbsp; Obviously for some, toned coins have value, otherwise they wouldn&#039;t sell.&nbsp; Best case and very recent case in point was the common PCGS wheatie I just bid on and lost at 2 times the PCGS stated value.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the grand scheme of things, I think that this segment of the coin collecting hobby&nbsp; serves to help increase the value of all collectible coins, thereby enticing or attracting more to collect, which in turn creates more demand on a limited supply, that ends up increasing the value. and around and around we go!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
