<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve Shupe, post: 8314443, member: 114551&quot;]the way I would explain this: If you have a car, from 50 years ago, still in pristine condition, with original paint smooth and bright, any you have a similar 50 year old car and the paint is faded and dull, which would an average person prefer to have? Both may be desirable vehicles, but the one best preserved in as close to the condition as originally made, tends to be more desirable and thus valuable. Why? Because it was taken care of. An item that has been taken care of, tends to be worth more. There are collectors that value originality very highly. This is similar in ancient coins as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
