<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 560113, member: 5233&quot;]There is nothing wrong with lower grades if that&#039;s the only thing that fits your budget.&nbsp; Looking at Barber Dimes for example...the 1894-S isn&#039;t going to happen.&nbsp; People who collect this series have accepted that they will never have the money for one unless they win the lottery or something.&nbsp; But, for the rest of them...they are obtainable.&nbsp; For example, look at the 1895-O.&nbsp; That coin costs thousands in high grade because they are very rare.&nbsp; But, a lower grade can be had for a few hundred.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, when looking for coins in your price range...especially key coins, make sure the coin you buy looks good.&nbsp; A circulated coin can have excellent eye appeal while the same coin in an MS grade can be ugly.&nbsp; The MS coin is much more expensive but the circulated coin looks better.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to keep in mind though.&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy problem coins.&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy coins that have been damaged by cleaning because they are cheaper.&nbsp; You are MUCH better off to get a lower grade coin that isn&#039;t damaged than one with a little nicer details but has been harshly cleaned.&nbsp; That&#039;s a mistake every collector has made and trust me, it&#039;s not worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
