I don't consider toned coins to be either more or less valuable. They just are. Of course there is ugly toning and nice toning, which is more a matter of taste than condition. Personally I just prefer grey to wild colors.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's also difficult to understand why a coin that has been handed out as change from a bank roll by the gas station attendant with oily hands, laying in beer on the bar, thrown in the cash register, and sitting in a coin jar for a long time before being spent will be "discovered" by a collector as a nice EF example. But if he runs it under a stream of water it immediately becomes "cleaned" and therefore essentially worthless. It's a good thing we don't know where all of those old EF morgan dollars have been.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
