<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 474212, member: 15062&quot;]It seems this argument, I mean discussion, relates to the future saleability of one&#039;s collection.&nbsp; Personally, I am collecting coins I enjoy looking at.&nbsp; I have several that are AU and a few XF simply because the amount of actual wear in minimal and they are great looking coins.&nbsp; I also have a few that are in the MS grades that have nicks and dings, especially on the rims, but still look great.&nbsp; I really couldn&#039;t care less that your toned MS65 is technically &quot;better&quot; than my AU55 with full luster.&nbsp; I buy what I can afford regardless of the grade.&nbsp; Some of you who are so hung up on MS nevertheless are quite happy to get a large cent or half cent in AG, just to fill a hole.&nbsp; If it suits your needs then okay.&nbsp; As far as buying with a budget, I&#039;ll take a dozen AU55s over one MS66 of equal value any day.&nbsp; I&#039;ll fill 12 holes while you fill one hole and look at 11 empty ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
