<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 3281166, member: 69089&quot;]Kudos to the OP. This is an excellent question for a coin forum, and I think you&#039;ll get some interesting answers . . . including a lot of the &quot;it depends&quot; variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my case, the answer is &quot;very strict.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t traffic in high end rarities.&nbsp; Too much stress and anxiety, and there are other things I prefer to do with lump sums that end in 3 or 4 zeroes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Instead, I focus on more common coins, and I want them in the best condition possible, which usually means uncirculated. For older and harder to find coins, I&#039;ll go down to XF if it has nice eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back when I was more of a set collector I filled a lot of holes with inferior coins, and I came to regret it. I&#039;ve dumped some of those coins and upgraded others. I would&#039;ve been dollars ahead to just buy better coins to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
