<p>[QUOTE="Paul Chouan, post: 7280447, member: 93775"]No, I think you're absolutely right - it's a matter of collector temperament, not rationalization. Also, while some worn coins are undeniably ugly, other worn examples of the same issue can have very striking eye appeal. Personally I enjoy the game of searching out the most appealing example of a low-grade coin. You can evolve your personalized set of criteria for deciding which coins meet your standard and which don't. And if, like me, you don't care much for slabs, you can have the pleasure of holding the coin just as others did, 20 or 200 or 2000 years ago, without worrying about damaging it. What's not to like?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
