I tip my hat to your untrendy candor. Take equal parts of Crass Competitiveness, Accidental Affluence, and a dash of Philistine Dilettantism (shaken, not stirred) - now add an Ego/Investment olive and one has the perfect Vulgarity cocktail. I simply cannot see the intellectual/romantic value-added by set registries.

Given Congress' current wonky-woke timidity about, well, just about everything... Lady Liberty's resurrection, in whatever omni-ethno-sexual-homogenized incarnation, doesn't stand a chance. Someone, somewhere, for some unintelligible, self-righteous, shut-in reason will successfully protest. That is, of course, the Mint is contemplating showing her poised to make a three-pointer from a wheelchair to a basket on the Mars.

I have occasionally encountered a vendor who describes an offering as "album toned" or possessing "album toning." I am well (and painfully) aware of PVC contamination from vintage album slides. Is "album toning" a euphemism for this or is it something different? If it is something different: 1) Does it have a negative, positive, or neutral effect on a coin's value; and, 2) If it has a negative effect, is this reversible through coin conservation?
