<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1093077, member: 26302&quot;]Exactly. Scary when we agree huh? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Btw, I never said premiums were non existent back then, but were labelled differently. &quot;Original&quot; coins with &quot;clean surfaces&quot; were highly valued. They were often times toned. I have paid over book for pretty toned coins, partly for the toning, but partly for the nice original surfaces. I was never a fan of dipped coins, and only ever dipped them myself when they were extremely ugly or bordering corrosion. I admit I never paid todays prices, (5x-10x) but I paid well over book for nice original coins, as did others.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It simply the degree of pricing and ability for them to be reproduced that we differ my friend. You may be right on reproducibility nowadays, I have just posted what I saw with my eyes back in the day is all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
