<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Factor, post: 8197298, member: 96413&quot;]I strongly prefer rare and historically significant coins over perfect but common ones. And I really disagree with collectors who are ready to pay much more for what they consider an ideal coin. Main reason for that is that in my area of interest, city coins of Southern Levant, it encourages sellers to alter coins, sometimes heavily, to make them more attractive. As.a result priceless historical evidence that survived millennia is often lost, as details and legends are enhanced or recut to please the potential buyers. I just encountered a coin that has been known as unique for 20 years, in which the city name was modified so in the literature it has been attributed to a different city. Newly discovered example is unaltered, and shows very different legend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
