<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 547661, member: 112&quot;]Surprisingly enough, a great many collectors do exactly that. They seem to equate originality with how the coin looked the moment it came off the presses. Many, many times coins have been referred to as original in that manner right here on this forum. It seems that to them that originality has a limiting time factor, in other words a coin can only be considered as original if it looks exactly the way it did when it was new. They consider toned coins, and toned in any way, including gunmetal grey or chocolate brown, as not being original at all precisely because the coins are NOT like what they were when new.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you have two schools - the &quot;blast white&quot; crowd and the &quot;toned&quot; crowd. Both consider their point of view to be the correct one and the other absolutely wrong. Doubtless PCGS is trying to please everybody at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
