<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1502630, member: 15309&quot;]Now I know I have explained to you in the past why toning is not a fad, yet you continue to present the fall of the toned coin market as inevitable.&nbsp; Furthermore, I still think that a great many collectors prefer untoned coins and many unattractively toned coins still get dipped everyday.&nbsp; Even in the old days, coin dealers weren&#039;t hasty to dip a coin like the one in question because they had select clients that actually preferred rainbow toned coins and would pay retail prices for them.&nbsp; Not the huge premiums that we see today, but they were still profitable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I see that can destroy the toned coin market is an advancement in &quot;coin doctoring&quot; that makes it easy to produce rainbow toned coins that are indiscernable for naturally toned coins.&nbsp; But this won&#039;t make the coins less eye appealing, it simply calls the originality of the toning into question.&nbsp; The result would most likely be that any toned coin in old plastic would become much more valuable, not less.&nbsp; The eye appeal and assigned grade will be unaffected so there is no need to worry that we will end up with millions of overgraded coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
