<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2066405, member: 15309&quot;]In my experience with toned coins that actually achieve a grade bump, the toning and resultant eye appeal is usually so incredible that price guides don&#039;t really apply to those coins.&nbsp; The coins are usually worth many multiples of the price guide of both the technical grade and the &quot;bumped up&quot; market grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, there are many toned coin collectors who base the value of the toned coin on the base price guide.&nbsp; For example, maybe a collector thinks a rainbow toned MS65 Morgan Dollar is worth 4X price guide, but he doesn&#039;t notice that the coin is actually an MS64 that has been bumped to MS65 for the color.&nbsp; In this case, he would be paying a double premium.&nbsp; However, I submit that if you are going to enter the toned coin market, you absolutely need to know what you are doing.&nbsp; Even those who are in tune with the market will end up making mistakes and get buried in a coin here or there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
