<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2272115, member: 42773&quot;]Certainly not all, but the majority of US collectors have pigeonholed themselves into discussions of grade and eye-appeal. If you confine yourself to a very narrow band of types, and refuse to collect anything else, and the history of the coins is well-researched and exhausted, what is there left? Varieties and eye-appeal. Varieties are cut and dried - either a coin is a particular variety or it isn&#039;t. Eye-appeal is far more subjective, and subjectivity is the fodder of egos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I need something far more substantial in my collecting aesthetics than fisticuffs about the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of the color of a layer of metal merely microns thick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
