<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3678060, member: 74968&quot;]I am glad to be a collector of ancient coins where grade does not seem to matter as much as with modern coins. I confess myself confused that people would chase the &quot;perfect&quot; coin. Coins were struck to be used. I much prefer my coins to have noticeable wear. When I coin has some wear I get to imagine who used the coin and for what. I get to imagine how many hands it passed through and what the ancient Romans, for example, were thinking when they spent the coin. Coins are important because they were used by people and tell a story of a civilization. I cannot stand these near perfect hermetically sealed objects which are devoid of human contact. To me they are meaningless objects with no soul.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
