[QUOTE="RichardT, post: 5448609, member: 100005"]It depends on what drives your collecting. Is the primary concern the historical significance of the coin? Then the physical condition of the coin might not matter that much. If so, quantity might be better. Or do you collect for the beauty of the coin? If you do, then quality might be better. All things being equal though, I think many collectors will prefer historically significant coins in good condition. Some profess to prefer worn coins though. It is your choice in the end, but personally I much prefer quality over quantity. There are practical concerns… storage space for one.[/QUOTE]
