<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1106674, member: 19423"]First, always buy what you like, not what someone else tells you they like. As far as the circulated coins go, I think many of them in XF/AU can be more eye appealing than a plain white MS64. The problem though is that many others agree with that and when you find one that has that great circulated look to it the coin is often priced about as much as an MS64 anyways! Remember, the coin in XF has a bid of $100. So when someone has a really nice looking XF, they're going to charge a premium. For me though, I know I can get a nice MS64 for under $200 if I'm patient and shop around. Since I like higher graded coins I wouldn't be able to drop $150 or so on an XF/AU example knowing that for a few bucks more I could get an MS64. But I totally understand that people who prefer the circulated look would do so. The best case would be to find a dealer who has a great looking XF or so coin and is pricing it as an XF for around $100. They are out there for sure, but not easy to find problem-free for that price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
