<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 250546, member: 5418&quot;]I think if you deal with any coins pre-1800, there are always going to be instances where a coin you very much would like to own can only be had at a certain price because it is a &quot;problem&quot; coin. I consider coins grading AG to be problem coins even, due to excessive wear. I don&#039;t think I would buy holed/plugged, engraved, or polished coins (&quot;cleaned&quot; is another matter, esp. with ancients and medievals) unless they were extremely rare, purchased them for a great deal, and I could sell them off at a higher price pretty quickly. However, if I wish to ever complete my U.S. type-set, I know that if I want an example of a 17__ cent or half-cent, I will have to settle for an AG coin or a problem coin I can handle (major digs, rim problems, pitting, &amp;c.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
