Message:: [QUOTE="oval_man, post: 1043985, member: 22602"]There is a theme within this thread, or maybe it is the theme, about avoiding paying too much of a premium for toners (which applies to any other quality for that matter). E.g., a while back you compared a toned Morgan to one I posted, suggesting I paid too much for mine. I submit that coins generally go for what they're worth. If you want something nice, you're going to have to pay for it. Personally, I never see "bargains" on Heritage, although I occasionally see the opposite sky high price because of a bidding war. My point is that if one is expects to find a "discount" of any kind, or even a "reasonable" price, you're going to lose a lot of coins. And it's those unreasonable ones that are going to demand the biggest premiums in the future. That's my sense anyway. There might be bargains on ebay if one has the time to spend, but you have to sift through a lot of dreck to find them. Here's a killer 44-D Walker you might have already seen on Heritage. It's already up to $1,610. I thought it would go to $1,600, but now I'm kinda curious what it has left in it.<a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1147&Lot_No=3751&Lot_Id_No=48011" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1147&Lot_No=3751&Lot_Id_No=48011" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1147&Lot_No=3751&Lot_Id_No=48011</a>[/QUOTE]
