<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 660240, member: 15309&quot;]That is a very difficult question to answer because the preference of toning is very subjective in nature.&nbsp; Some collectors prefer untoned coins and others prefer rainbow toned monsters.&nbsp; In most cases, the toning will not affect the grade of the coin.&nbsp; Unattractive toning or toning that impedes luster can lower the grade of a coin and fantastic rainbow toning can increase the grade of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Usually, rainbow toned coins will drive a premium over an untoned piece.&nbsp; These premiums can range from a small percentage to over 50X bid.&nbsp; Here are two 1945-S Jefferson Nickels side by side, one toned, the other untoned.&nbsp; At auction the toned coin in this example will always out perform the untoned example.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%204%20Sale/JeffersonNickel1945-SNGCMS666741-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1945-SNGCMS66Star-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For a more in depth explanation why, please read the following thread:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=39837&amp;highlight=rainbow+effect+prices" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=39837&amp;highlight=rainbow+effect+prices">http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=39837&amp;highlight=rainbow+effect+prices</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
