<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrweaseluv, post: 1806251, member: 40340&quot;]Some good replies here even if a few are a bit overly opinionated. That said my personal opinion is that I PREFER those dinged, worn, scratched and circulated coins. They have a history and a sense of wonder&nbsp; that the shiny MS70s will always lack. MS70s and the like are more coin &quot;investing&quot; then collecting.&nbsp; I admit I own a near complete set of proof sets and have a box or 2 of slabbed MS coins but it is the less then perfect that I truly love. The 2 best examples of this I could give is my $20 Large cent set (over 40 coins now) and my $50 bust half set (up to 5 coins now in it&#039;s 3rd month) none of these coins are perfect, but if the time ever comes that I have to sell off some of my coins (not something I do often) I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it will be the proofs and mint coins that go 1st. All in all collecting coins is about what YOU the collector enjoy not what some wannabe coin-Nazi on some forum thinks you should collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
