<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1015429, member: 112&quot;]Yes they have. However, it is also important to note in discussions like this that the number of collectors who have been doing so for decades is quite small. And never have toned coins brought the premiums that they have brought for the past 6 or 7 years - never !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well I suppose foolish is a term like stupid or crazy. But I don&#039;t know of any way to say it more tactfully than that. And the reason I don&#039;t do as you suggest is because of all the other people who read these forums, uninformed people or people somewhat new to the hobby. You see, sometimes those folks deserve to be able to read something that is said straight out instead of being couched in delicate and more polite terminology. In other words - save the hearts and flowers and just tell it like it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>And don&#039;t try to tell me that forums don&#039;t have an impact. I&#039;ve watched them have an impact for as long as there have been forums. Forums are the reason that toned coins bring the premiums they bring today. Had it not been for coin forums, you&#039;d still be able to buy the subject coin of this thread for $500 or $600.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for the record, I&#039;m a HUGE fan of toned coins. But there is a difference between being a fan of something, and being foolish with your money. I will never advocate being foolish - with anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
