<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1072470, member: 26302&quot;]Well I didn&#039;t see the entire collector base flocking to colored coins regardless of attractiveness being worth &quot;premiums&quot; either. It was that way for 150 years, kinda hard to predict it will never return that way.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A safety net, maybe. It will not protect you from losing money by paying 5x book for a coin that when tastes change the market only values at book. NGC and PCGS is not guaranteeing market premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great advice, toning used to, and I believe still is, used to cover up problem coins. It can be very dangerous buying a heavily toned coin unless its graded, and even then you are not sure the effect of the toning on the underlying metal.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Or just don&#039;t pay exorbatant premiums for toning at all. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>More excellent advice. Lehigh is a good guy and knows this market.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yup, read other stuff that people post before you believe anything on the internet, and even then take things with a grain of sand. Everyone who has ever read the Redbook considers themselves a US coin &quot;expert&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a different perspective than Lehigh, but I do value your opinion man. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
