<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 6585510, member: 26302"]My view of the braided hair series is they are simply too ugly. Compared to all earlier types, the braided hair to me and most collectors I talk to is they are simply unattractive. I like half cent. Never really collected them but picked up pretty examples when I saw them in AU+, but only begrudgingly bought a couple of braided hair types.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice for the OP is to buy what you love and gives you pleasure. That is the only kind of "return" you should ever hope for with coins. Buy/sell spread too wide to make money on them generally. Unless you want to be a dealer, or invest in 5+ figure coins, "return" is a misnomer in numismatics. Sure, we may get some principal back when we sell, but spend hobby money on coins, not investment money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
