<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Sims, post: 1885303, member: 59688&quot;]The advice I have been given over the years is to buy the highest quality you can afford. If it happens to be high grade mint state or low grade circulated coins it really does not matter as long as you are happy with the coins you collect. A complete Dansco album for Liberty Head half dollars is still an awesome looking set in AG to G condition as well as one of BU Washington quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>People collect coins for various reasons, me I just like them. I prefer AU to mid grade mint state, MS-63 to 64, coins solely because they are the most affordable for me. I do not care for low grade coins since too much of the design has been worn away and are not very attractive. I don&#039;t collect complete sets of any series so I do not have to have that expensive key date coin. When I can I will buy a better date piece in my grade range to make my collection a little more interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>The MS-65 and higher coins are beautiful but when I can get an AU-50 to MS-63 coin with great eye appeal I enjoy looking at why spend the extra thousands of dollars for a coin which I have to keep in a safety deposit box for security and can&#039;t hold whenever I want any time I want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
