<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 4685347, member: 18157&quot;]Back in the early &#039;60s, when my Father introduced me to numismatics, toned coins were considered &quot;damaged&quot; coins (at least to my Father). Dad said the goal was to collect coins in conditions as close as possible to when they dropped from the dies. Dad would keep his coins wrapped in thin sheets of aluminum foil. It protected the coins and he always knew when I had sneaked a peak (Ouch!).</p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate the beauty of toned coins (natural or otherwise), but avoid them like the plague...natural or otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
