<p>[QUOTE="sshafer11, post: 2027388, member: 67540"]Patience has been key for me especially in finding the right liberty cap large cent for my set, in the right grade, and and at the right price. I spent 4 months looking for an AG3 that didn't have gross planchet flaws, corrosion, scratches, or any other type of damage. When I finally found one on a bad picture gamble on eBay I was really happy. That coin is at CAC now however, because another one came on my radar out of the blue that I think will upgrade to VG10 for almost the same money I paid for the AG3. I think the bottom line in the hobby/business in general is that the nicer coin will always sell for more. That benefits both the buyer and the seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting I did a Dansco 7070 and one day I decided to go crazy and add an XF Shield Nickel and an AU Half cent. I felt guilty about spending the money on these and decided to just cash it all out and buy only culls or ag coins and fill out the set. When I realized what I had done I knew that the hobby had changed for me. The best coins were more important than everything else I owned, And I haven't looked back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
