<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3375905, member: 19463"]I agree with cpm9ball that the 'problems' will not go away but I probably have more problem coins than most people because of my definition of what is a problem. Wear does not bother me; corrosion does. Portrait detail does not impress me enough that I want to buy coins with poor legends or centering. However, I am willing to buy any grade or situation if the coin has not proven available in a condition I would prefer. That means that a common coin I can get better gets left behind while a coin I want that I have never seen before has a really good chance of getting a place in my collection. I advise not buying a coin that you don't like now. Those will not improve. If you see the beauty of the good points more than you are bothered by the faults, go for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
