<p>[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1516502, member: 22602"]I'm certainly not judging your collecting priorities; it's not my business. Collect what you want—more power to you—and I've seen you post some nice coins on CT. I also respect your financial prudence. It just struck me as, well, presumptuous that, because someone asks $2,500 for a toner, you would consider him as not having "any idea about collector reality and what the market will bear."</p><p><br /></p><p>I think there are at least several collectors here who would differ with your view that "exceptionally beautiful" coins, whether common-date toners or something else, are not "generally great investments." Since when has collecting "beauty" been practical or rational? I'm not saying tastes don't change or markets don't ebb and flow, but I'd say if anything is going to remain constant against these vagaries and over time, it's going to be something "exceptional."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
