Yes. I like collecting something that will NEVER be complete. With my budget, I think I've done well.
As long as I get a fair price, damages coins have more detail and are easier to attribute. If I hit the lotto, I'll try to be Dan Holmes. Till then, I settle for coins with CHARACTER.
Nice Marshall. Very nice indeed. Really like the 186. And anyone - including Dan Holmes - who collects by variety will have some problem coins. As a matter of fact I think a couple in the middle dates had something done to them - recolored or cleaned. I am not sure you can avoid it. I think Marshall as a good set going.
