<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1371971, member: 26302&quot;]True, circulated toned coins can be cool. Look at my avatar, its a Roman coin cleaned years ago, (like most ancients), but has retoned. </p><p><br /></p><p>To answer the OP question, I would say in US coins, and maybe some modern world coinage, toned coins can bring a premium. For ancients, toning can definitely bring a premium, but its different toning. Silver toning like posted here doesn&#039;t bring a premium, but hard green patina definitely increases its value. </p><p><br /></p><p>For all series, it depends on how the toning makes a coin more attractive or not, and general agreement on that attractiveness. If it doesn&#039;t make it more attractive to you, (like a lot of US toning nowadays to me), then don&#039;t pay the premium. Simple as that. I know I have a reputation of hating toning, but I don&#039;t. I love it. I have paid 3 times the price for a hard green patina toned ancient coin because to me it was beautiful, and back when toning wasn&#039;t a premium on US coins I bought tons of them I found attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy and pay for what you love, and for no other reason. Its your hobby, you are in the drivers seat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
