<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Curtis, post: 2333748, member: 75907"]Cascade, thanks for posting your beautiful lady. Your post brings me to a point of inquiry that I would like comments from collectors. I have an 1882-P Morgan...she is not a 'monster' as your example, but to me she stands as a fair representation of that particular coin for that particular era and I am pleased to have her in my collection. I am a collector that daily sorts thru my amassed pocket change and occasionally pick up some rolls of coins from the bank to sort through, and happily, I occasionally find it to be a rewarding exercise. I will try and upload a pic of my coin; she's got some wear but I enjoy her. My question to the membership is, if you had a coin in this condition and then found a beautiful coin as the one Cascade recently purchased, would you keep the lesser coin or sell/trade it off? Is she better off going back to be recycled or should she be kept for my heirs to enjoy when I'm gone? </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the question I'm asking of collectors is, do you have a minimum level of quality a coin must meet before you will add it to your collection? Or, are you like me, if you find an example you don't have you add it, regardless of its condition or numismatic value?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please look over my coin and give me your opinion. I have it graded as 'ABG' [about good] with a value of $20; a little less than the the NGC Price Guide for good which is $29. Comments?
