<p>[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3131405, member: 10461"]You'd think so, but I don't think it's that easy. See, lowball collectors want <i>straight-graded</i> PO01 coins, and I don't think many tumbled coins would pass muster at PCGS or NGC without getting a "details" grade. <i>Artificial</i> wear won't do, unless someone's really good at it. (Some people probably are.)</p><p><br /></p><p>And you wouldn't want to start off with worthless pennies. You'd want stuff that's hard to find in "natural" PO01 condition. An Ike dollar, perhaps. A Silver Eagle. Commemoratives, particularly more modern ones. Stuff that didn't circulate much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
