<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2233677, member: 36864&quot;]To answer the original question of this thread, the high grade toned coins are examples of market grading. This practice essentially sets the price of the coin rather than judge it based on its technical grade. I truly despise this practice, but so long as people will pay huge premiums on toning (aka surface corrosion) this will continue to happen. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I find some toned coins very beautiful, but should they really be worth a grade point or two more than a coin that has been properly preserved over the years?&nbsp; I&#039;m not talking about this coins that have been dipped to death here, but maybe a blast white Morgan that spent its life stored in a bank bag until somewhat recently for example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
