[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 164779, member: 112"]Speaking for me personally I would always prefer to own problem free coins. As for the tooling - I would say that LIBERTY on the obverse and a large part of the legends on that coin had been tooled. When it comes to determining a fair price I always check auction archives, that gives me an idea of what coins in a given grade will cost. It is never this or that - it is always a range. Once I know that much then I grade the coins myself and I know if it is priced fairly or not. If the price is a bit high, but the coin really appeals to me - fine pay it. But it would at least have to be "close" to the range. Even if the coin is priced low, but it doesn't appeal to me - I would walk away.[/QUOTE]
