<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1015578, member: 17555&quot;]I agree that premuims for toned coins is not a fad,, and agree with Lehigh that much of the boom is due to the quality and distribution of photo&#039;s... where distribution is in agreement with Doug, in that forums do offer a venue for dissemination of toners, and thier appeal does bring new money into the market.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am in TOTAL agreement with Doug in his directness to this forum and ungloved approach... and will take this opportunity as a collector to thank him for is guidance and directness in this and all matters in which I have seen him offer opinion... (including those not favorable to me).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As has been said in this forum before, I think &quot;most&quot; (not all), but most collectors reading this thread consider investment a part of hobby.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now when toners reach the premiums of this coin, I think those of us that have been around the hobby for some time owe it to newbee&#039;s to warn them of similar premiums for other segments and thier eventual return, or depreciation, or regression, back to the mean or normalicy.....&nbsp; this warning may not mean anything to folks who don&#039;t really care about money spent on coins or in pursuit of the aquisition of toners... for me at least, money matters.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I get the most enjoyment from the aquisition of a new coin when I feel it is both beautiful, and at a good price... I don&#039;t think this coin offers that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, to all newbee&#039;s, and to all hobby peers, and to all hobby elite.... this collector/investor will say it one last time:</p><p>wrt this coin:</p><p>Stupid is as stupid does. (speaking of the action here, not the person).</p><p>Run Forest,,, ruuuuuuuuuuuun. (speaking to the collector/investor hobbiest here).</p><p>Very nice coin, and rare toning pattern, I&#039;d snap it up in a second (speaking to all Billionaire&#039;s or Multimillionaire&#039;s)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
