[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2765525, member: 39084"]C'mon... really, Doug? In what alternate universe is there evidence that current collectors of ancient coins are more obsessed with perfection than collectors from a decade ago, or a century ago? For that matter, in what alternate universe are there ancient coins that are "perfect?" Has the universe of perfect ancient coins increased suddenly so that this obsession can be fed? If you're given a free choice between an EF or a VF of the same type, you'd be certifiably loony to choose the VF (all other aspects being equal). So it stands to reason that if you can afford both an EF and a VF within your budget, you'll choose the EF over the VF. Exactly what is your point here? Forgive the apparent belligerence of my post, but there is no context within which I can make sense of the above quote.[/QUOTE]
