<p>[QUOTE="tdogchristy90, post: 1660243, member: 35778"]Something I've always wondered about pertaining to the eye appeal/numerical grade debate is this. When looking to complete a set in a given grade range, say a set of mercs in xf/au, baring any real rarities that you can only get in say f detail without breaking the bank. Do you think most would be willing to break that xf/au continuity for a lesser coin? You then end up with a full set of nice xf/au coins but have an oddball at say f detail because one was choosing eye appeal over grade. Now granted some will say an f isnt going to look better than an au due to grading criteria, but this is all just an example and hypethiwtical to make a point. So would one sacrifice continuity for appeal when putting together a set?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
