[QUOTE="braincramp, post: 36307, member: 925"]As someone else said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you like toned coins, own them. If you don't like them, don't. It doesn't really matter, however, how a coin got to be the way it is. It is what it is. We do not need to know the intent or psychological makeup of the owner while the coin was toning, or whether it took 5 years or 5 minutes to get that way. The only thing which determines the value of a coin in a particular state is supply and demand -- how many are available, and how many are sought. Some value things which are handmade more than they value things which are machine made. Some value aged, faded, and broken things much more than their repaired counterparts. Some like things because of their provenance much more than their physical condition. It's all in your head.[/QUOTE]
