<p>[QUOTE="ReaperRuler, post: 1499237, member: 38320"]Is there anything wrong with my wanting to collect coins that are between F and AU and avoid anything else? I understand that MS grades are good for return value and investment, but realistically they dont appeal to me. In this particular instance, I'm referring to collecting coins like Lincoln/IH Cents and Mercury Dimes. While MS graded coins look very pleasing in terms of luster, I dont feel the need to collect them other than they're worth a ton of money in some cases. When I collect, I consider wear on a coin to be a good thing because it means the coin has history. All MS coins tell me is that someone got the coin early in circulation and stored it somewhere for a long while whereas a worn coin has seen lots of history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there something wrong with this mindset? Is it alright to collect this type of grade set?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
