<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 341570, member: 3011&quot;]The entire hobby is built upon a number of shared rules that everyone agrees to abide by.&nbsp; Harsh cleaning destroys value.&nbsp; Small differences in appearance and wear result in huge differences in value.&nbsp; Accidental toning is beautiful.&nbsp; Intentional toning is destructive.&nbsp; Uncirculated coins are more desirable than circulated coins.&nbsp; And so on...&nbsp; It&#039;s all subjective and there is no guarantee that a generation of collectors 100 years from now will share the deeply held beliefs of today&#039;s collector.&nbsp; Maybe undipped coins will be considered junk.&nbsp; Maybe ultra-advanced DNA testing will enable science to determine if any historically famous people touched circulated coins, and a VF Jefferson nickel touched by John F Kennedy will be worth more than an uncirculated coin.&nbsp; Nobody knows what strange twists and turns are possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
