Depending how often they come on auction, your best course of action could conceivably be to go full nuclear, buy both and forget about the cost because otherwise you might never see the other again if you only bought one; buy one and wait a few years for the other; or just bide time some more because in another 5 years, you'll see them both again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your post makes me think you're talking about something like VF/XF Barber halves, where even the slabbed pieces tend to show some signs of cleaning, and problem-free, raw pieces are nigh impossible to find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
