Thanks Coinlover - I agree, I don't mind the wear - with coins - I like bright shinny coins straight from the mint or safe but also love a coin that has seen some history - they are examples of our past that cannot be thought of or compared in the same way as a coin that has always been part of a collection or bank hoard.
