<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2696723, member: 44316&quot;]I really like that attitude. Too often collectors (especially US coin collectors) are seduced by high grade alone. Magazines like Coin World send the message that high grade coins are the only worthwhile coins. We know that is not true for ancients, but some trend in attitude in that direction is noticeable. I hope most of us can find reason to want coins based on <b>interest</b>, which includes what we know about the type from knowing history, researching the type, and eye appeal (which is admittedly correlated with grade). </p><p><br /></p><p>I love it when one of our members shows a coin he or she has researched that is not in high grade. I am more inclined to give a &quot;Like&quot; for post with a good writeup of a low-grade coin than for a post of a high-grade coin with little writeup.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
