<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 69637, member: 1873"]When one gets into the keys, semi-keys and those just plain hard to find dates and mint marks the grade actually means nothing, at least to me, when you looked for years to fill that hole without ever seeing the coins you need. I bought the first 1885 Liberty Nickel (V nickel) that I ever saw and held in my hand. It is a low grade nickel but to me it was everything but that. I now had the opportunity to see one, had it in my hand and could own it with a simple nod of my head! It has increased in value about a hundred bucks in two years so it was a good investment and the fact still remains, it is the only one I have ever encountered in this area, and now it is in MY collection. Grade means nothing until such a time I get the opportunity to upgrade. Only then will this one be for sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
