<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1052023, member: 26302&quot;]I guess I am one of those who &quot;don&#039;t know about toners&quot; even though I was collecting them 30 years ago and am very familiar with their progression, reversibility, underlying damage, ways to AT, etc. I think maybe you mean &quot;don&#039;t know about the toned coin market for the last few years&quot;, that is very fair. Collecting toned coins is not new, and has been done about as long as coin collecting has been around. Its just the pricing mechanism that has changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I was hoping to learn is if there was a methodology besides wild guesses as to pricing mechanisms in this market. Is there a toning &quot;grade&quot; by series for certain coloration? Everyone talks about 5x, 10x, 20x book value, does that apply regardless of the book price? What if the above Morgan was a 1889cc or 1893s? Is this market more similar to error coin pricing, which pays for the error regardless of the date, since I cannot imagine it being consistent multiples of list price regardless of date. Is the pricing basically, $200 for the coin, $1800 for the color instead of 10x book? That would make more sense, since if its 10x book, and the book was $30,000, is the coin worth $300,000?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, I just wanted to say I posted this question simply based upon having 60 pages of conversations, it had nothing to do with the last couple of examples, which were very pretty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
