<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2124971, member: 29751&quot;]The &quot;love affair&quot; with toned coins in the USA is a rather recent phenomenon.&nbsp; I have toned coins that have been purchased from Europe, and others that have been in USA TPG holders long before the &quot;toning premium&quot; existed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think a more likely explanation is that people tend to want to photograph coins with attractive color.&nbsp; Thus, the sampling of coins you see posted on coin forums are &quot;biased&quot; in the distribution of toning towards those that are highly attractive.&nbsp; I mean, if I&#039;m given the chance to &quot;show off&quot; a coin and I have a blast-white dipped/stripped example and lovely example with original skin and tone -- I&#039;m posting the toned one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
