[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3128734, member: 112"]To each his own, and there's nothing wrong with that. But what exactly will you pay a premium for ? I mean pretty much everybody has something they'll pay a premium for. And that's the thing, it's pure chocolate and vanilla, every person has something they like and other things they don't like. But just because an individual's taste is different that does not make one or the other right, or wrong. The problem, the issue if you will is that there are some people who will pay what I call stupid money for a beautiful toned coin. But they rarely do so because they simply like the coin that much, they do so because they have the mistaken belief that the coloring somehow makes the coin more rare than it really is. And they will also pay that "stupid money" for a coin that, were it not for the pretty toning, would not be graded as highly as it is. In other words they completely forget about the underlying coin and are paying for the color alone. And in my book, that all by itself is a huge mistake.[/QUOTE]
