[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1556590, member: 17555"]For the general reader.. my impression of the discussion. 1 - You have here a few folks who want the forum members to feel that any toner must command a premium. *** There are market forces at work here folks. And some out there, like "HIGH" premiums, for all toners and DO NOT want joe collector getting their toner fix in the cheap seats. Understand that many on the forum have more $ tied up in toned coins than they have equity in their homes.... So there is vested interest in keeping nicely toned coins from the cheap seats out of the mix. It took me many years to get that. Over time, if you stay in the hobby, you'll see it too. Read the comments from the self declared toner "experts" carefully, and then note what they post and the magnitude of their vested interest,, you'll begin to smell it. Upshot... you can find MA toners out there from a fraction of the price of "holey water spritzed" toners... and you can put together nice sets for much less than 2x to 20x premium for "spritzed" toners. COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE and beware of spending any premium on "any" toned coin. Cheers !![/QUOTE]
