<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1073700, member: 15309&quot;]So now you want us to check the old threads.&nbsp; Well thanks to Shane, we don&#039;t have to.&nbsp; Shane just resurrected this thread that started in 2003 on the CU forum.&nbsp; And while there have been posts spanning the last 7 years, the thread proves that toning was a hot button topic in 2003 and had been for years.&nbsp; Since it is a rather lengthy thread, I will simply quote some of the more notable posts in the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=231444&amp;STARTPAGE=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=231444&amp;STARTPAGE=1" rel="nofollow">The truth about the toned coin market</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an important quote from Coinguy1 (aka Mark Feld) which refers to toned coins as the preferred coin of the advanced collector.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an important quote from a guy who calls himself homerunhall.&nbsp; Seems he was selling rainbow toned Morgans for a 2.5X premium in the 70&#039;s.&nbsp; By my math, that is 35 years ago Doug.&nbsp; And you will forgive me if I lend David Hall more credence than you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, we have a quote from Sunnywood.&nbsp; A while ago, I described him as one of the leading experts on the subject of toning.&nbsp; Your response was to claim that most of the self proclaimed internet experts are basically imposters.&nbsp; However, you lacked the humility to include yourself in that group.&nbsp; Well Doug, I am going to trust the opinion of the collector who has spent his life collecting the finest toned coins in existence while learning from the most knowledgeable toned coin collectors and dealers such as Ron Sirna, Gregg Bingham, and Mike DeFalco.&nbsp; I will trust the opinion of the collector who has spent millions of dollars on toned coins.&nbsp; I am going to trust the opinion of the guy who has made more memorable posts about toning on different coin forums than anyone else.&nbsp; You on the other hand have posted more false information in one day than Sunnywood has posted in all his years on coin forums.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So if Mark Feld, David Hall, and Sunnywood all recognize that the toned coin market has existed for decades, perhaps you should get off your soapbox, stop misinforming the newbies on this forum, and finally, for once, admit that you are wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
