<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1647730, member: 37839&quot;]To the OP:&nbsp; You may not like toning, and see it as corrosion.&nbsp; That is an opinion shared by some in the hobby.&nbsp; There are folks that only like blast white coins, although as Greg indicated, if the coins are more than 50 years old, chances are that the blast white finish is NOT the authentic finish.&nbsp; All Silver and most other coins tone, in varying degrees--the white coins that are 100 years old generally have been dipped, unless they were the beneficiary of some extraordinary preservation.&nbsp; Toning is not new to the hobby, and has been popular for years--many are willing to pay large premiums for beautifully toned coins ( I am one of those people).&nbsp; So, simply writing it off as tarnish is eliminating some of the most desirable coins available.&nbsp;&nbsp; To repeat what Greg said, I insist on a TPG &quot;validation&quot; of market acceptability for toned coins that I buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
