<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2725851, member: 37839"]Back to the topic of toned coins. I've been a toned coin collector for years, although as of recently, my numismatic interests have shifted. I did sell a whole lot of toned Morgans last year, for quite a high premium. Toning, if it is attractive, can throw any price guide out of the window. Many collectors will pay multiple times the graded value for a toned coin that they perceive to be attractive. I could post hundreds of pictures of coins that I sold for 3-20x normal value for the date, as another collector saw said coins as desirable. This is totally a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" market. Just watch auctions on eBay for nicely toned coins--particularly rainbow toned ones, and vivid textile-toned Morgans. They can go out of sight, price wise. Morgans tend to have toned differently than many other coins, due to their many years of sitting in textile mint bags, in humid locales. Natural chemical reactions have created some extremely artistic results. However, for the OP's information, this is a highly specialized and selective market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
