<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 80335, member: 112&quot;]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - what you may think ugly, others may find beautiful. But I do understand your point - there is some toning I think is ugly too.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In a price guide - they are both worth the same. But if being sold - it depends entirely on the buyers. Some folks like white or untoned coins - others like toned coins. Both kinds can bring a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It can - grade is affected by eye appeal. So if a coin has attractive toning it might be bumped up a grade for extra eye appeal. If the toning ugly - it can be bumped down as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t always tell. Sometimes there are signs that it has been done - other times there not. And if you can&#039;t tell - does it matter ? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, what does logic and common sense say ? Coins tone - that is a given. But of course it is possible that one was stored in some way that prevented it from toning - but is it probable ? Or is it more probable that if the coin is untoned that it has been dipped ? The answer seems obvious to me. Of course some folks just don&#039;t want to believe it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
