<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 647593, member: 13650"]Mark, I loved both of your last 2 responses. This is exactly why people should care. I have a feeling that 90% of the people buying coins like this in the OP assume they are equal to a naturaly toned coin that acquired real toning by sitting in a mint bag or an album for decades as nature took it's course. Which is certainly not the case with these. </p><p><br /></p><p> I'm guessing if those 90% of people decided to inform themselves a little about toning and all of them suddenly realized that there's people tinkering with and doctoring coins to make fancy colors on junk silver in a few minutes time, for the sake of profit.... I suspect that very few of these types of coins would ever sell. But, I'd say the coin doctors that do this are pretty safe and may as well keep coloring coins. </p><p><br /></p><p> I agree Mark, that kind of loses it's allure to me as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
