[QUOTE="RomanGreekCoin3, post: 3135091, member: 96564"]Pretty low. I actually prefer low grade coins to high ones . Why ,you may ask? 1. The more worn it is, the less likely its a modern fake. possible, but still less likely. counterfeiters will usually not put all that effort into making a fake for so little profit. 2. Low grade coins are [B]way [/B]cheaper 3.A low grade coin is still a piece of history- no different than a high grade coin. I feel sorry for the people who blow thousands of dollars on new coins, taking such a big risk . The Toronto Group preys on thousands of suckers like that. Still I need coins where the bust is visible under the naked eye or magnifying glass. A full Legend would be nice but it isnt a deal breaker as long as the ID can still be made without it. I dont mean a cull, but pretty worn.[/QUOTE]
