<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2646705, member: 77704&quot;]Sallent....I think you are bang on. It is a psychological thing/ I love coins that are perfect, have original lustre, no wear, no defects....i guess it is in my DNA. However, I would not go as far as some collectors, who pay 60K for a MS-68 Double Eagle that would go for 15K in MS-67. I am happy with a MS-65 which equals European grade mint state<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In Roman coinage a CNG graded supberb EF is in my book a perfect coin. The US Pogue Collection was built up by a very select collector....If I had that kinda $....I would do the same, but with Roman aurei/denari<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. But in the end, we all collect for the love of the hobby<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
