<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IBetASilverDollar, post: 3298699, member: 85251&quot;]The main difference with the smaller gold coins as they ride up the MS ladder is their luster (of course other factors come into play as well).&nbsp; Larger gold coins for obvious reasons take on a lot more contact marks so an MS62 $20 coin may look beat to hell compared to an MS62 $2.50 liberty head.&nbsp; If luster isn&#039;t a huge deal for you and surface preservation ranks higher up then definitely save the money.&nbsp; For me personally luster is everything and I don&#039;t regret paying a premium to find lustrous gold coins in my set.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way I appreciate the way you collect.&nbsp; Even if you hate slabs you at least appreciate they have benefit for you with the added security spending thousands of dollars from images alone.&nbsp; People have posted threads with multiple fake coins listed and their response was they hate TPGs.&nbsp; So they chose the lesser of two evils - buying fakes instead of buying certified coins and just cracking them out after.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
