<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clay Bowen, post: 3031418, member: 93980&quot;]I don&#039;t really care about what a coin is worth (unless I&#039;m buying it), but I do care about condition.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because I want to see what it looked like to the person who designed it - what was their vision for the coin.&nbsp; At a recent flea market, I bought a &#039;65 UK Crown in decent shape because of Churchill, a couple of Swiss 5 Rappen (one 1922, one 1971) because the design hadn&#039;t changed in 50 years (I guess the US isn&#039;t the only one that does that), a Showa 50c coin as it&#039;s different than the current one, etc.&nbsp; Spent 500 yen on them, and they&#039;re probably worth less.&nbsp; Do I care? No.&nbsp; I liked them, I think they&#039;re interesting and they have value for me.&nbsp; Ancients yes, I do buy them slabbed but that&#039;s because I&#039;m new to this hobby and I don&#039;t want to get counterfeits if i can help it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
