<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4798627, member: 37839"]Then, I think we should throw out the scale, and just give opinions about the toning—we have deviated from it so much, it has minimal meaning. I have no problem with personal preference as to whether or not one likes a coin’s toning. That is what collecting is all about. However, if we are going to ignore [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] provided original rubrics, then let’s do so. Otherwise, we should stick to the rubrics more strictly. This is not at all personal, as I have no skin in the game—I sold the vast majority of my toned Morgans 5 years ago. It is just whether or not the scale is just a guide, or a fairly strict rubric. Perfect example was that Jefferson War Nickel that you posted. It was a monster, as far as Jeffersons go, but if we used the Morgan scale, it would objectively come out lower, as Morgans tone far differently than other species of coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
