<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2585396, member: 5233&quot;]I have often wonder what most collectors prefer for their collection.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say you had a set budget and you were going to buy one coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; Your budget is enough to buy a low grade (G4 or so problem free) example of the key coin in the series you are collecting...or just enough to buy a high grade pristine example of a common date.&nbsp; Which would you buy?</p><p><br /></p><p>Before you answer...I&#039;m not asking about long term investment potential or best &quot;use&quot; of your money.&nbsp; This is more a question to someone who collectors purely for the joy of collecting.&nbsp; Which would give you more joy...having a low grade example of a scare date/mm or having a high grade conditional rarity of a common date?</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I am very torn on this.&nbsp; On one hand I would love to have that beautiful &quot;fresh as the day it was minted&quot; example of the coin.&nbsp; On the other hand, ever since I was a kid with my first Red Book those &quot;key dates&quot; jumped out of the page at me and just being able to have an example of one would be special.&nbsp; I think I&#039;m in the &quot;key date&quot; group...but just barely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
