<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3203455, member: 78244&quot;]I like early (pre-1826) US coinage, but to get any of these in decent condition usually costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. I have always wanted a chain cent because it is the first coin produced by the US mint, but I’d have to spend $1000 minimum on a crapola specimen. While these coins are historic, I am not willing to cough up so much money for relatively common/extremely low-grade coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the selling side, if I see an 1803 NC-1 large cent for $45, am I supposed to just leave it be or do I buy it and let the market give me $300 for it? You accuse me of hypocrisy, but I am sure you would do the same thing if you could make a few hundred dollars on a coin you would otherwise have no interest in due to the price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
