<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4983207, member: 19165"]Randy, I certainly respect your position. I'd argue that for something like the $3 you describe, an attractive and well valued details coin may make sense for some collectors. Problem free $3 pieces can be quite pricey. In your case, you've decided that a coin with a very slight problem makes sense for your collection. I wouldn't advise buying a harshly cleaned coin, regardless, but an argument can me made for your approach. </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, that's very different than an extremely common coin like an 85S Morgan. There are literally tens of thousands of problem free examples available for very low prices. I can think of no reasonable justification for intentionally buying a cleaned problem coin over a problem free coin like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
