<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3283315, member: 46237&quot;]I have different quality rules for each set I collect.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example I have a medieval denar set where the only criteria are eye appeal, must be toned, and must not have significant pieces missing from the flan. My classic Hungarian sets are all uncirculated, but I have minimum grades based on the composition and finish. My target grades for those sets are generally MS65 for copper and silver and MS64 for gold. For my modern sets and restrikes my target grade is generally MS67. Higher for ultra-moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>I make exceptions when warranted. For example my type for 1848KB 10 Kr (an extremely rare issue) is an AU details coin that has nice eye appeal. I definitely have a few coins I prefer to keep in my sets for their surfaces and eye appeal over technically superior examples I also own or could easily own. On the flip side, I have some technically superior examples grade-wise in my sets that don&#039;t have the best eye appeal, where the grade is exceptional.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy most picking up an example that I know I will be pleased with forever and will have virtually no ability to upgrade. For example my profile pic coin. Waiting for the right coin is generally cheaper than going for endless upgrades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
