<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1988713, member: 26302"]I agree, and its one of the oldest tricks in the book. Years ago AT was not done to make a premium coin, it was done to hide a problem coin. This is the reason why toned coins were viewed with suspicion, and many times traded for less money than white coins. Its also why coins were dipped, to remove the toning and show the coin was problem free. I have always loved toned coins, and bought a lot of toned 19th century coins back when they were the same price as white coins. However, the last 10+ years of such premiums for toned coins completely confounds me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
