<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2036575, member: 20480&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t presume to know that any one series is more likely to come toned than another.&nbsp; In fact my suspicion is just the opposite, that all are equally prone to toning, and that we only see a limited sampling because of the cleanings that so many are subjected to.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think when you see a nicely toned gold coin, you are privileged to be viewing a less-adulterated coin than most get to see.&nbsp; I have owned many nicely toned gold coins over the years, and they have elicited comments from a very appreciative, albeit small audience.&nbsp; It is unfortunate that most want . . . expect to see bright yellow color, and pass right over these special pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I deal in both toned and un-toned gold, I&#039;ll always gravitate to the toned gold first.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still to this day regret parting with 3 particularly nice toned gold coins . . . a very original deep gold and brown 1881-O $10 Lib, a deep orange 1883-S $10 Lib - both cherry AU50 coins, and both very scarce coins.&nbsp; The best of the three was a common date 1907 quarter eagle with gorgeous originality . . . clean blazing lustrous surfaces under olive green, rose and orange color . . . one of the most striking coins I&#039;ve ever owned . . . traded that one for a bad check back in the 1990&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Live and learn . . .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
