Maybe undervalued? Especially for low mintages. I understand the thought process. Some stuff, I do want the best examples I can find and other stuff I don't care and am just as happy with an AG. AG coins can be more interesting and extremely affordable to own. Who cares what the value does on an AG coin? You probably didn't pay that much to begin with!!! Maybe the next coin you buy will be a MS67? Everything has it's place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
