<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 138062, member: 3011&quot;]I am more impressed by a key date coin than by a common, near-flawless coin regardless of their relative prices.&nbsp; If a coin is old or scarce or both, that is something special even if it is worn.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If a common coin is in a high state of preservation, all it basically means is that the coin never made it out of a vault someplace or was quickly preserved after it did.&nbsp; You might as well call up Rawlings and ask them if they have any old baseballs in a warehouse someplace that were never delivered for use in a major league game, and somehow attach more value to that ball than to a home run caught in a World Series game because it was never used and is therefore in better condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; Condition is important, up to a point.&nbsp; Beyond that point it becomes more of a shared delusion, not a real value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Key date and high grade coins both seem somewhat overpriced these days in my opinion, but I&#039;d rather have the key date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
