<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2473707, member: 24544&quot;]Just gonna throw this out there, but you can buy a pretty decent standing liberty for the price of that replica.&nbsp; The replica is 36, here is the real, slabbed even:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standing-Liberty-Silver-Quarter-1930-S-NGC-VF30-Lot-4212459-075-/291803589885?hash=item43f0d96cfd:g:bmAAAOSw-4BXb~uL" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standing-Liberty-Silver-Quarter-1930-S-NGC-VF30-Lot-4212459-075-/291803589885?hash=item43f0d96cfd:g:bmAAAOSw-4BXb~uL" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standing-Liberty-Silver-Quarter-1930-S-NGC-VF30-Lot-4212459-075-/291803589885?hash=item43f0d96cfd:g:bmAAAOSw-4BXb~uL</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to tell you how to collect, but I don&#039;t see the appeal of buying a replica for the same price as you can get a decent example of the actual coin.&nbsp; If you were talking about an electrotype of something truly rare, like a 93 strawberry leaf cent, than I would kind of understand.&nbsp; Or a display case with electrotypes from the British museum of Greek silver because you don&#039;t want to actually display the real ones.&nbsp; But the standing liberty coins are not expensive coins.&nbsp; And if you are unhappy buying a nice xf/vf coin after looking at the $300 mint state coins, but your budget doesn&#039;t allow the mint state, then join the club.&nbsp; We would all like to buy nicer coins than our budget allows, these trade offs are part of collecting and something we all deal with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
