<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1014778, member: 17555&quot;]Yes, I would.... and I really like toned coins,, in fact I&#039;d prefer a nicely toned coin vs. a blast white of the same date any day..... but I refuse to be foolish with my money, and IMO, paying that level of a premium is stupid money management. But as has been said, if I did equate money to toilet paper, then maybe I&#039;d go for it.... Personnally, of the multi-millionaire&#039;s I do know, none hold that opinion of thier money... In fact, they tend to squeeze the crap out of every nickel,,, even more so than the working sled dogs I know who endevor to become thier peer.... hummmm....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to comments:</p><p>#1 - I don&#039;t know how to tone coins like that... However I have a strong feeling many do,,, exacting details on how to do so have been published on the forum. Knowing these samples &quot;can&quot; be manufactured is another reason I refuse to pay ultra premium&#039;s for them,,, although I &quot;will&quot; still pay some premium.. a bit.</p><p>#2 - I seriously doubt this coin presents these color patters in hand and in a normally lit room (not some dark drab place),, in a normally lit room. Take a look at all the pics posted in the auction yourself,,, now compare those pics posted by heritage vs. the pics posted by the OP.... my guess is that the coin in hand and in normal light, or even well lit spaces, will look much more like heritage&#039;s pics than those presented in the thread.... as most toners to.</p><p>#3 - ok</p><p>#4 - there are 10 auctions on ebay right now that will sell above $5k,, buyers with cash and a willingness to depart from it are out there.... they always are. My opinion is that most monied toner enthusiasts have realized that the $ game is overdone for toners. just my opinion...</p><p>#5 - your returns are probably rooted in exactly what I&#039;ve described..... when someone posts a monstor toner, many people believe this is what the coin looks like in hand and in normal light..... what they often will get is a coin that is heavily gray and black&#039;ish in hand with only a hint of color underneath,, the neon color only is exposed in direct sunlight, or other high intensity lighting.... it&#039;s simply a matter of expectations set by a photo and digested by a consumer under the wrong assumptions.... I&#039;m sure some buyers who have not see many of these neon toners do not understand that the color in the pictures of them are essentially enhanced by the lighting... It would be interesting to see toner sellers post two pictures of each toner they sell,, one under high intensity lighting, and one under normal light (or even high light, like the heritage pics).</p><p>- I sure heritage does not illustrate thier coins in poor lighting,,, take a look at this coin in heritage&#039;s pic, it probably is a better illustration of what this coin looks like in a normal or high light environment.</p><p>- still a very attractive and beautiful coin...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
