<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3081532, member: 92655"]I have posted this before. I am posting it again to illustrate an answer to your question...... Collecting toned coins is like collecting anything else. If that is your passion, man go for it. Thing is, this seems to be an area where the pricing tools we have at our disposal tend to get pretty unclear. So, the end result truly is a toned coins value is simply "what another will pay for it"..... A fellow could easily make a terrible and costly mistake with the toners.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's my example. I want this dime so badly I can taste it. I have wanted it almost two years. All the pricing tools at my disposal tell me a high end value for this one should be maybe $2500.00. And recent trends are softening. However the striking eye appeal of this coin has demanded a much higher premium. Is that premium worth paying to me? Well, some days I have come close. I will say the dealer has had this almost two years that I know of and apparently, the premium hasn't been equitable to any other collectors either. Tells me that if I purchase this in a moment of weakness that I may take quite the bath if I need to liquidate the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>A fellow go go in deep easily with toned coins.
