<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 3979091, member: 88212"]Many people on this site consider ANY coin in less than mint state and entombed in plastic as less than desirable. They talk about rarity and number their "rare" coins in mintages of hundreds of thousands made. Counter stamped coins and tokens were made in mintages of hundreds with the common ones having a thousand examples remaining. I prefer tokens and counter stamps. Do I care that others don't? Nope, each to his own. I'll gladly replace their "damaged" coin with the same date and mintmark undamaged if I have it. I don't want marks on key dates and I'm not offering to do transactions. I have followed my policy for decades with no regrets. I've been collecting since 1958.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
