[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2794291, member: 112"]The market for toned coins has weakened considerably over the years, or, another way of saying that would be that the premiums being payed for attractively toned coins have dropped considerably from what they used to be. The key phrase in that is "attractively toned", but of course that's a subjective thing as beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
