<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 640782, member: 16948"]I humbly disagree with you - we ARE talking about eye appeal here - that is exactly one of the most important things that drives prices up on any coin - whether it be color, luster, strike, etc.! Not quite sure what you mean about designation - like adding "Rainbow Toned" on the holder? IMHO it doesn't really matter to me what the holder says as far as an added description like Rainbow Toned, Highly Lustrous, Blue or Silver Toned, or whatever - I can see that for myself when I look at a coin (including if I was a nickel, dime, dollar person - I would certainly make sure that coin had full bell lines, full steps, etc. before I bought that coin). </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I don't think giving a coin such a designation on the holder will necessarily increase it's value - toning is definitely "in the eye of the beholder." As you can see from our discussions here, there are people (and I personally just don't understand this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) who don't like toning or certain colors on a coin. But I'm sure the same doesn't hold true with cameo, full bell lines or full steps - everyone looking for those coins will want to see these attributes on a holder as they denote a better strike, better quality coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
