<p>[QUOTE="mrjason71, post: 2926914, member: 90347"]Yeah I am seeing what people are saying...a glorified ad for intercept shield or whatever...it's a little distracting but oh well...and the anti-tone viewpoint...he makes a good point. Just read the part about two guys sticking the same MS dime in storage for ten years: one in a intercept shield thingie and the other in a desk drawer with papers. They both get them graded and the one in the drawer has toned all red, blue and gets a better grade by a grader who likes toned coins. He reasons that it makes sense that a coin with chemical corrosion should not be considered MS let alone grade higher than a blast white untoned example. I mean the logic is sound. I could see people paying more for the colors if that's what they dig but should definitely not have anything to do with grade ( unless it's downgraded because of tone).</p><p><br /></p><p>And I gotta say that I am coming back into the coin world after years away and it was a bit of a shock to find people desiring tone.
