<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 4851642, member: 29751&quot;]Thanks for clarifying [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] .&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>People (not implying you) always get defensive when I use the term &quot;terminal&quot; to describe toning.&nbsp; Terminal just means it&#039;s at the extreme (i.e., the thin film is thick enough) that it will not tone further in bands of color.&nbsp; It appears black to the eye.&nbsp; It&#039;s not some insult to a coin - it&#039;s simply a chemical/physical process.&nbsp; My point was that as toning approaches this darker set of progressions - it becomes less desirable to the market at large.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I still rated the coin a 4 for goodness-sake - which is Mid-High on the proposed scale, and clearly still attractive.&nbsp; IMO, this coin needs a lot more vibrant tones - like around the &quot;E PLURIBUS UNUM&quot; on the reverse - and less of the dominant orange colors to be higher than a 4.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
