[QUOTE="SteveInTampa, post: 2571351, member: 27107"]Welcome to Coin Talk [USER=83315]@Glubski[/USER] . Personally, I prefer quality over quantity, but I am a collector first and if what I like and buy go up in value, that is secondary.

When I was shopping for a $500 note, I took my time, looked at all the options, saved and saved, and finally bought a graded note with terrific eye appeal and original paper qualities.

If you have to describe a note with a "but", like; This note was a really good price, BUT it's torn, or BUT it has this rust stain, or BUT the centering is way off, then move along until you find a different choice. I bought this note for 40% less than an uncirculated note, and I can't tell the difference. [IMG]http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt47/mbwizkid/500_zpsef6f7e26.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
