<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8193841, member: 84905&quot;]If that is the exchange rate, I prefer 100 common denari in EF over a decrepit Eid Mar denarius any time.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. I derive more pleasure from a common, but aethetically pleasing coin than from a badly worn or crumbling unicum, regardless of the historical significance of the ruler or the event that the coin refers to. Others see this differently. It is entirely subjective.</p><p><br /></p><p>More objectively, however, I do believe that common high grade coins have monetary advantages over rare low grade coins: I think high grade coins tend to hold their value better than rarities in poor condition. In addition, high grade coins tend to be more marketable, i.e. they are easier to resell than rarities in poor condition. But, I&#039;m sure to the speciality collector this doesn&#039;t matter a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
