<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 5187517, member: 84179&quot;]The only reason you received such a high offer is toned coins are all the rage.&nbsp; The value is in the toning, not the scarcity of the date or condition.&nbsp; If you like toned coins and think they will continue to increase in value, keep it.&nbsp; Or you could play the game, get it slabbed and try to squeeze as much out if it as possible and hope you hit the top of the market.&nbsp; Or, you could take the cash and buy something that matches your collecting interest. A key date like a 1909SVDB, or 16D Dime or better date Morgan (you get the idea).</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO (and I emphasize opinion) there are some people out there who understand chemistry and a can accelerate natural toning.&nbsp; When there&#039;s a lot of money being thrown at coins with ridiculous toning, somebody is going to figure it out.&nbsp; Seeing artificially toned coins showing up tells you that people are trying.&nbsp; Will somebody get greedy and flood the market? Will accelerated toning remain stable or will the surfaces continue to react?&nbsp; I can&#039;t predict what will happen and have been wrong before, but personally, I don&#039;t want to be the last one holding a monster toner, if something happens to disrupt the market</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add:&nbsp; somebody once said there is nothing wrong with making an honest profit. Choice is yours, but I think you know what I would do[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
