<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 797448, member: 8959&quot;]Mark, you know what is nice about your S-8 is the fact the planchet, albeit worn, is nice, smooth and free of distracting rim nicks or else.&nbsp; That is why I like it, and it still shows enough detail. In fact, I think you did well choosing this one, rather than the VF/corroded example you described. There are enough coppers with problems out there: none of my Wreaths for example are problem free like yours.&nbsp; </p><p>I followed this logic also BTW when purchasing my 1796 Draped Busts cents:&nbsp; I went for planchet quality (whenever possible) rather than details level when chosing them, even if that meant lower grades.</p><p>Another plus for your coin is that it is more desirable IMHO than the (much) more common S-9. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure the other &quot;biggies&quot;: the Chain, 1799, 1804, and maybe even the 1793 liberty cap will one day come your way.&nbsp;&nbsp; BUT, the Liberty Cap will be the most difficult in my opinion.&nbsp; I still don&#039;t have one, and really regret passing up TWO ocassions to purchase one at still reasonable prices (many years ago.....)...if only....&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck with the hunt, and congrats again on your first wreath![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
