Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3280863, member: 112"]How strict are you with coin quality? For me, saying it depends was accurate but grossly understated. I guess that's because the only reason I ever bought coins was because I happened to like that specific coin - but often for several very, very, different reasons. Take these coins for example.

The second, also an excellent example, I paid almost $2,000 for it. But the next two, I paid less than $30 each for those. But I liked them all, and was quite proud to have each one in my collection. And that's kind of the thing, my collection contained many exemplary coins, coins that only the discriminating collector would own. But it also contained other coins that were anything but expensive, some were even damaged, but I still bought them because for one reason or another I liked them - specifically for what they were.[/QUOTE]
