<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1052036, member: 22602&quot;]Several ideas have been posted here more than once by experienced toner collectors which have been helpful to me as a new person to the field. The main one is that the toning premium tends to be inversely proportional to the value of the coin due to grade or date rarity; i.e., a 63 will fetch more of a toning premium proportionally to its value than a 67 and an &#039;80-S Morgan will fetch more of a premium relative to its value than an &#039;80 CC. I have the sense, again as a new person, that this is probably as reliable (if one could call it that) a methodology as one could get, because otherwise it&#039;s based on eye appeal—taste—and, as they say, there&#039;s no accounting for it!</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: I&#039;m being facetious about taste, of course; I certainly believe experience can hone it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is the knowledge gained through experience of what kinds of toning (perhaps in combination with date or strike) are rarer than others; didn&#039;t mean to leave that out. All in all, it seems that extreme familiarity with the market is the only real way to form any kind of dependable sense of worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
