<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2233634, member: 1892&quot;]Um, I think the OP&#039;s question was more about why they use toners for a &quot;Grading Guide.&quot; It&#039;s a major distraction from learning about grading. At least to my mind, the reason toners are so prevalent in high grades with Classics is that original-surface coins tend to be toned after 150 years of care in a collection. How you keeping a silver coin blast white for that long? Not unpossible, but in that day and age of coal-burning industry and ridiculous atmospheric sulfur levels, coins that stay in the city are not staying white. For may issues I&#039;m guessing they don&#039;t have appropriate untoned candidates.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, those images are far too small to be of any use above MS65.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
