I also firmly believe in not getting carried away with chasing "the best" - I still can't wrap my head around people who spend multiple hundreds of dollars on common LRBs that are in nicer than average condition. I may eventually change mind, but I actively sought out problem specimens of coins I could not otherwise own, e.g. Manila Scantilla[ATTACH=full]1237432[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
