<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Westtexasbound, post: 3070423, member: 54086&quot;]I had read another post with pictures of a beautiful gold coin from over 100 years ago.&nbsp; The coin looked brand new and had a very high grade.&nbsp; It is human nature to want something perfect.&nbsp; You can see this in coins that are graded &quot;cleaned&quot;.&nbsp; People obviously cleaned them to look perfect.&nbsp; It got me thinking of what I like.&nbsp; Its weird.&nbsp; I want my coin to not have scratches or dings.&nbsp; I want the raised surfaces to look good so I can have a true example of the coin.&nbsp; However, I like the imperfections.&nbsp; I like the wear.&nbsp; I like to know that my coin might have been in someone&#039;s pocket in 1900 in New York City.&nbsp; My coin might have rode in a Zeppelin.&nbsp; My coin might have purchased land out west.&nbsp; It comes down to the story.&nbsp; I am curious how many of you that are looking for coins look for lets say the perfect coin that isn&#039;t too perfect to be questioned as real.&nbsp; Something with character.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
