<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 250570, member: 9167"]I prefer coins with as little damage and marks as possible, only because I want to enjoy the original art that is the coin itself. However, when you get to coins that are 150+ years, it becomes increasingly difficult to find any. A dime was a lot of money in 1800, and many people didn't save money because they couldn't afford to. I do have some coins from this time that are uncirculated, and they're no less fascinating and full of history. Who owned say a dollar in 1800 that was wealthy enough to have saved it and preserved it? A banker, a shipbuilder, the President? Thats as exciting as wondering who's initials are on a coin, or wondering what brothels my Morgans passed through.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
