First, they are generally very well struck, so you can see all the details intended by the designer. IIRC, they hare the highest % of the series...
It is a natural, if undesirable, human reaction to look down upon things one doesn't collect. Rationalizations -- sometimes sound, sometimes not...

I can't see anything holding this coin back, frankly. However, it is worth noting that that PCGS rarely, if ever, awards Braided Hair Large...
