I wonder if my dealer will pay a premium for the toning?

    I just can't see toning bringing a premium for a bullion silver bar. Whats next? AT silver bars?

    It was a joke, OPA. Of course there is no premium and besides, it needs dipped.

    It was a joke my friends. I have a dry sense of humor

    They are pretty though

    It may not bring a premium. But given a choice of two otherwise identical bars--one with attractive rainbow toning and one without--which would you choose?

    You can always dip a toned bar. But you can't force attractive toning.

    Not an unreasonable question considering the crazy premiums some collectors pay for common Morgans with fancy toning.

    Actually, I would pick the untoned bar nine times out of ten.

    Doesn't matter to me one way or the other but I do avoid dark or ugly toning.

    I do hate the way the 10 oz JM bars tend to turn that purple/black color

    In my book there is no such thing as an "attractive toned bar." Eventually, most will end up with that deep purple or almost dark oxidation that's so prevalent with bars kept in their original sealed vinyl sleeve issued by the refineries.
