[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2745923, member: 56859"]Yes-- it lessened the risk. I think we both went into it assuming there would be many duplicates and we knew most would be low quality. The price we each paid brought the risk down to a level we could both live with even if there was little to nothing of high interest in the group. Another thing to remember with this hobby is entertainment value. This whole process was very fun, and there are still many many more hours of enjoyment to be wrung from the coins-- even the ones I wouldn't have purchased as individual lots. As always when I've bought a group, especially if some or all are not imaged, I tell myself I can sell the ones I don't want (part of the little lies we tell ourselves to rationalize the purchase). I'll probably hang on to most of my 40 :).[/QUOTE]
