Is the availability of beautifully toned commems and other coins...

...slowly but surely drying up?image First of all, there really aren't an abundance of them in the first place. Second, as time goes by, it seems more and more collectors enter the hobby or existing collectors decide to add toned coins to their collection, and the supply of these beauties certainly pales in comparison to the demand. It will be interesting to see what the nicely toned coin inventory will be in Santa Clara next week. I'm a commem guy but I'm always on the look out for just a beautiful coin of any issue. I'll also be looking for a nice 1914-D Lincoln Wheat. That is a coin that has always sparked an interest for me and I'd like to find one that is pleasing to the eye.image

    Ther supply of everything with eye-appeal has dried up, not just toned coins.
    All glory is fleeting.

    It's more and more difficult to find nice examples at the right price. Even the mediocre examples are going for top $image

    Stuff is out there, but it's a matter of how much you are willing to spend to get it. Some of the nicer stuff is priced so steeply, that it might as well NOT be for sale.
