<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 2837734, member: 89393&quot;]If I had won the PowerBall for $700+ million last Wednesday I would be sure to buy higher grade coins, but only as long as I could make a distinction between the physical appearances of one selling for $100+ as opposed to $20, as in the case of these ASEs. I wasn&#039;t being defensive, and, in fact, thought you did a great job with your POV. I did not buy my ASEs as a coin collector as I have my vintage American coins, so I see them more as something of a commodity. I like to pay as little for these as I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH, I just paid over $200 for just two Indian Head Cents tonight, and neither of them could be graded higher than, maybe, F or VF if I&#039;m lucky. I didn&#039;t want to spend that kind of money, but there are times when you just have to. These sorts of coins bring me pleasure to look at — not that the ASEs don&#039;t — so I&#039;m resolved that finishing a set of Indian Heads is going to cost me far more than I&#039;d hoped. The Bullion will have to retain enough of its purchase price when/if my wife liquidates the estate to keep her as she is accustomed to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
