[QUOTE="About Good, post: 971977, member: 21547"]I have read and studied.., and even had local coin dealers give their feedback. And it makes sense........and true Toned coins are coins that are damaged..., or are in the process being damaged.. And let me explain, We all collect coins...And what do we like to collect? Coins that looked like they were miinted yesterday..!!! Coins are meant to be collected like the day they were minted off the press.. This is a no-brainer.. No were else in the history of collectables does anyone want toned, hazed, marbeled, irridesent, splottchy, or colored items. Can you imagine a painting that has transformed colors from the original paintings colors? The coin markets want you to believe that it is "desirable", "unique"... But it is not. It is the original, fresh minted collectable coin that we all desire. Toned coins came along because of dealers holding them in their inventory..and then wondering what to do with them... They then convinced their closest customers that they were unique....and then it went nationwide. Only coins that are fresh minted off the presses are valuable, don't believe the hype..[/QUOTE]
