GSA toners

Why are GSA toned coins not fully appreciated with the appropriate perceived value?
Making these assumptions:
1) The holders have not been compromised, opened, drilled gassed etc.
2) The coins went from bag to sorting tray to holder.
3) They are relatively scarce attractively toned in relation to the overall population.
In sum they are a verifiable example of natural toning processes, known to be unadulterated.
With all the fuss and ridiculous pricing of toned coins these should be valued accordingly. In addition the major TPGs should have a considerable archive of photos made available to peruse for educational purposes.
Thoughts from GSA experts would be appreciated.

Upon what basis have you concluded that GSA toned coins aren’t fully appreciated? I’ve seen some very strong prices for the ones that appeared to be deserving. The example you posted looks gorgeous, but the big prices are typically attained by those exhibiting obverse or two-sided toning.

Agree, obverse toners are worth more, considerably more.
Just noticing auction results are strong but not at a multiple which I believe they should sell.
Bought this coin a few bucks over a what a regular holder would sell.
About 40% higher so not a few bucks. But still seems low even for a reverse toner. Anyway just my perception.
