Some are better than others.

Sometimes an untoned coin is nicer (great luster or prooflike). Other times the toned coin is nicer. If we are talking about a generic Morgan, like an 1881-S in MS 63, then I would take the nice toner that is barely a 63 over a blast white coin that might be a 63+/64 but is in a 63 holder.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>How do you feel about toned bullion bars?</b></p><p>I don&#039;t collect them but I understand the premiums and find some to be attractive.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Would you buy a cleaned coin over a toned coin if those were your 2 choices?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>There could be many factors in making the call: how far apart are the prices, how nice is the toning, how bad is the cleaning, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we assume the same price where one is cleaned and one is toned, then it&#039;s the toned coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
