[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 2632307, member: 26030"]It was toned coins that got me re-interested in coins after a nearly 40 year hiatus. And I was able to get a Digital Album of the Year award from PCGS last year. And have also been mentioned in numerous PCGS newsletters and promotions. Some of my toned coins are actually on various high level pages of the PCGS website! Last year my "Fireball Rainbow" Lincoln Set was displayed by PCGS at both the Long Beach and ANA shows, which got me another award. I do have a few tips for toned coin lovers 1. Try to develop your eye to attempt to discern between NT and AT coins. Not always an easy task, but you can weed out a good 95% cr@p you see on ebay by developing your eye. 2. Try not to pay huge premiums over guide -- unless of course something sings to you as a one of kind piece of art. I have paid huge premiums for a few of mine, but not with the idea of flipping, but more as acquiring art -- something that I had to have. Only do this if you have money to spare though! Most of my toners I bought very close to or under guide price. But a few i went through the roof for (be selective!). 3. Buy what you LOVE and not with the idea of selling for a profit later. Dont be a flipper, but a collector. Buy for your own enjoyment. [IMG]https://mindstar.com/coin/LincColor_MS_Poster_1040_96.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
