<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 599692, member: 15309&quot;]No, you are right.&nbsp; That pretty much sums it up.&nbsp; Rainbow toning is beautiful and it gives the coin a unique look.&nbsp; Although coins in general with rainbow toning are not ultra rare, they are much more rare than their un-toned counterparts.&nbsp; In addition, each toned coin has it&#039;s own personality.&nbsp; No two toned coins are exactly the same in appearance even though all share similar characteristics.&nbsp; It is this combination of beauty and uniqueness that drives the premium.&nbsp; For a visual representation of what I am talking about, take a look at these Battle Creek Morgan Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/BatteCreekBasketballTeam2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please note that each coin shows the trademark color progression of yellow-magenta-cyan but each coin has a vastly different overall appearance.&nbsp; The luster on each coin is also different.&nbsp; It is very important to remember that when dealing with rainbow toned coins, luster is everything.&nbsp; Without luster, the colors seem flat and lifeless.&nbsp; With luster, the colors become much for vibrant and sometimes seem to explode of the coin thereby greatly increasing the overall eye appeal of the coin.&nbsp; Of all my Morgan Dollars, this coin probably best represents how luster can make the colors explode.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1883-ONGCMS64Star154-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One can easily claim that the appearance of this coin is a result of photo magic, but I promise you, this coin is the quintessential example of what toning enthusiasts refer to as a monster.&nbsp; This coin will easily bring 20X-30X wholesale value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
