<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1465049, member: 37356&quot;]<b>What I think, exactly.</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My old coins are circulated. I believe that many circulated coins are potential &quot;problem coins&quot; because coins go threw a lot when they are circulated for long periods of time. I think that a &quot;problem free&quot; circulated coin is just odd since coins when circulated become beat up.&nbsp; They are dropped, they clang together, and they are not properly stored.&nbsp; The coin in question has probably been threw alot already during its long time spent in circulation.&nbsp; It is a part of history because it has been handled by people during the Civil War, WWI, WII until it made its way into someone&#039;s collection or silver hoard.&nbsp; An uncirculated coin of the same age in my opinion did not experience history, it just experience a vault, safe, or somebody&#039;s collection.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t a piece of history, they are just old.&nbsp; Other historical objects have gone through restoration whether it is the Statue of Liberty, Independance Mall, or Liberty Bell.&nbsp; As someone from Philadelphia I have often witnessed historical objects being restored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
