[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2740197, member: 112"]OK, I get your point. But tell me, what happens when you run across a coin like this one ? [IMG]http://robecsimages.com/photos/CT/CT_1912MS65BN_o5r2.jpg[/IMG] Would you call that one tarnished ? Or maybe this one ? [IMG]http://www.aprci.com/repository/Pics/25-18887-O.jpg[/IMG] And lastly this one ? [IMG]http://www.aprci.com/repository/Pics/26-15491-O.jpg[/IMG] Do you see my point ? All of those coins are without a doubt dark brown, but yet each and every one of them is considered to be a highly desirable coin by most people. And not a one of them would even remotely consider that to be "tarnish". But instead, very attractive toning. Now you, and others, may have an entirely different opinion and not find those coins to be attractive in any way. And you may very well consider that to be tarnish. Now I could also post many pictures of coins that I myself consider to be butt ugly because of their toning, which would reinforce your opinion. But others will find that very same toning to be quite attractive and highly desirable. The point of course is that beauty, (toning) lies in the eye of the beholder, not in some written definition.[/QUOTE]
