<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2765516, member: 19463"]The point is that <u>very</u> slightly lesser grade coins would have cost half as much so you can decide whether you subscribe to the current obsession with having no coin less than perfect. Two hundred years ago, the obsession was having rare coins no one else had and collections of ten thousand coins were 'better' than smaller groups of what we now call better coins. It is your choice. They are nice coins and you could find places charging more for less. I doubt you will regret the purchase as long as you own the coins but I would not try to resell them tomorrow in hopes of a quick profit. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]636632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]636633[/ATTACH] </p><p>These two 'bargain' coins totaled about 1/3rd what you paid a few years ago so might serve to illustrate the 'half' option today. There is no right and wrong unless you are reselling. I hope you enjoy the coins many times as much as you would holding on to those 300 euros.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
