<p>[QUOTE="tdogchristy90, post: 1503406, member: 35778"]Here's my story. I've been looking for a coin for a while now and came across one tonight that is nice bright white with an amazing sparkle luster to it. For all purposes this coin is perfect. That is until you see the small black dot on the neck of the eagle. Now I know older coins that are a 100+ years old will have blemishes, they have been around the block. But I'd much rather have a perfectly evenly browned coin rather than a "perfect" coin with these distractions.. Thats exactly what it is, a distraction, again I know the coins old but there is something about coins where if it had a "distraction", a smudge, nick in the right place, spot, ect. it is all I can focus on and my eyes draw to it and it takes away from the coin. I'm all for coins having even color and being "old", recognizing their age and wear, but there is something about these distractions that really get to me, anyone else understand this or where I'm coming from?</p><p><br /></p><p>Rant over <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
