[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 801170, member: 18157"]Some people like toned coins, while others feel that toned coins are damaged coins. Value is determined by the collector base...if there are a lot of people that are attracted to uniquely toned coins, the prices will reflect that interest. The same is true for die cracks and doubled dies...it really depends on the amount of interest in the collector community. Here's another example of a coin that I find appealling, but others very likely do not. This is a very late die state quarter that has dramatic flow lines and an "orange peel" effect. This effect is unique to very late die state clad coinage. Again, my pictures really don't do this coin justice. Some may think of this coin is ugly...but it's beautiful to me. I plan to waste a few bucks having it graded...it has almost no "after mint" damage. It'll be interesting to see how NGC grades it.
