<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 9381855, member: 100720&quot;]I couldn&#039;t agree more! </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;One man&#039;s trash is another man&#039;s treasure.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at how &quot;Nicely Toned&quot; coins have collectors paying high prices. I don&#039;t understand why anyone would want coins that were not well protected and well cared for over the years, never mind paying a high premium for them. But, hey, that&#039;s what collectors of toned coins do. Who am I to say what they &quot;should&quot; or &quot;should not&quot; prefer?</p><p><br /></p><p>The rules about what coins are collectable and what they are worth ebb and flow with time. Some stand the test of time based upon their rarity. Others are fads. I think &quot;toned&quot; coins are a fad, but what do I know? And who cares. If someone likes them, let them go for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collect what YOU like. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you like dirty, grimy quarters, collect those. &quot;Hey, look, I have this great dirty quarter here! Isn&#039;t it cool?!&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds the same to me as &quot;Hey, look, I have this great toned quarter here! Isn&#039;t it cool?!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, it&#039;s cool, if that&#039;s what you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to the value of what you collect, when you die it will depend upon the knowledge of the beneficiaries of your estate, the honesty of those they deal with and sell to, the time period in which they decide to sell and what people ascribe value to at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>For all we know, slabbed, cleaned, Columbian, whatever they are, will be all the rage in 50 years from now! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
