<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1233027, member: 24544&quot;]Just out of curiosity, have you seen any decent grade v nickels in hand before?&nbsp; I ask because in my opinion they are pretty decent looking coins in the vf to ef range, but in g they have no aesthetic value.&nbsp; I would urge you to consider if you would really be happy with a sizable collection of very worn coins, because you may get pretty far into the collection and realize you like the nicer ones better.&nbsp; The worn ones do have more stories, but they also lack the artistic design and pleasure of higher grade coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, this happened to me with early date large cents.&nbsp; They are very expensive in nice grades, as in f12, which I could not afford.&nbsp; I started buying some low grade ag3 type coins and realized, after I spend quite a bit of money, that in the ag3 condition I could afford they were just lifeless hunks of copper.&nbsp; I moved into the late date large cents where I could buy decent ef examples for around the same price I could get g early dates, and I am much happier having a collection of coins which actually have detail.&nbsp; Just something to consider, and the nice thing about collecting is you only have yourself to please, so do what would make you happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
