<p>[QUOTE="JBK, post: 151755, member: 1101"]As others have said, toning does not really enter into the coin's grade. It does, however have everything to do with eye appeal, which can affect value. Once I got a nice slabbed Morgan in the mail - a beautiful strike but with a huge thumbprint on it. I sent it back because I did not like the way it looked. The grade was not in dispute, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be happy if all (or most) coins were in original condition color-wise, but in reality most if not all don't stay that way. Rather than throw away all my coins once they show toning, I learn to accept it and I sleep better at night as a result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
