I really like what you are doing...a niche without too much competition can be enjoyable.

It's easy to see that the value of your collection lies not only in the ANACS certifications, but also in the conservatively graded coins. Nice!

Has anyone ever seen a toned coin graded by the old ANACS? It seems that they are all mostly white all the time.

I've never seena colorful toned coin, I have seen your run of the mill normally toned coins. Wait, I take that back. Airplanenut has a very colorfully toned coin and a nice certificate with it.

That blast white and original looking Merc would probably grade 66 or 67 today. Looks like fully split bands too. Cha-ching...

Toned coins, colorful or otherwise, were none too popular 25 years ago. As prevalent as dipping is now, it seems like it was more so then.

Also, as many of these coins as have probably been separated from their ANACS certificates and slabbed by a more recent certifier, that percentage is probabaly even higher among attractively toned coins.

It is probably a rare animal ...

Yes, there was much less artificial toning going on back then, so it was much easier to find original white coins. Nowadays someone would have taken that original coin and put it in a Taco Bell napkin just to make a few bucks.
