<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 778304, member: 15309"]My advice to toning beginners is to stay away from the huge toning premiums and concentrate on acquiring toned examples that have significant numismatic value regardless of the toning. For example, stay away from common date Morgan's that sell for 5X-10X Wholesale and instead buy attractively toned classic commemoratives for a small premium over price guide. I paid the same amount for these two coins, one at 27X wholesale the other at 1.3X wholesale.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1883-ONGCMS64Star154-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Commemoratives/AntietamCommemorative1937PCGSMS66HL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now the toning is not as dramatic on the Antietam, but the risk is a whole lot less.
