<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1159788, member: 21445&quot;]Nice topic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tend to buy the worn examples mainly because I too cant afford those nice CNG examples or even Heritage. They are beauties to look at online but the 3-4 figures &amp; more is a turn off.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here is what is ME....I dont like silvers with alot of deposits. I can live with coins with cracked or ragged flans, some missing legends, obvious wear but lots of deposits turns me off. I will avoid a ancient down right, even if the price is right if it has ALOT of deposits. I also dont like when a coin is bad silver when there is good for the era...I.E. Severan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like this coin <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/CHS-AQUILLA-SEVERA-w-ELAGABALUS-AR-DEN-CONCORD-RARE-/200597339363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item2eb4887ce3#ht_720wt_1037" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/CHS-AQUILLA-SEVERA-w-ELAGABALUS-AR-DEN-CONCORD-RARE-/200597339363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item2eb4887ce3#ht_720wt_1037" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/CHS-AQUILLA-SEVERA-w-ELAGABALUS-AR-DEN-CONCORD-RARE-/200597339363?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item2eb4887ce3#ht_720wt_1037</a> I really wanted it because she goes for over $600-$1000 and is the #2 rarest female in the severan period but I just cant get past the wear/bad silver even though its going amazingly cheap for her.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same with a sestertius. The green is a major turn off and thats why I dont own one yet. There is alot of examples without the green but I just dont find myself wanting one despite the nice designs/heft they weigh.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am picky and want quality, but I want it at a certain level of quality I can live with and there is some problems, like the coin above, I just cant get past, no matter how worn/rare it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
