<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2473300, member: 71338"]Nice post. I agree to a point. Right now I am putting together a problem coin US type set in a Dansco. It's a type set after all, so even if dates are unreadable it's fine by me. The more detail of the type, the better though. I'm all for collecting problem coins, and I agree with your premise that problem coins don't have to be problematic. Most coins, after all, have varying degrees of problems or blemishes. Now the point I disagree with is paying hundreds of dollars for a problem coin, like you did or your buyers. 400 or 500 for a whizzed barber half? That's insane to me. I have a problem paying a hundred dollars for a straight graded coin, so probably my reluctance is due to my lack of funds. But I still think paying a significant sum for a problem coin is not a good idea, even if it's a tough coin or not. Perhaps then the series you are collecting is beyond your means[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
