<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 712401, member: 3726&quot;]Personally I think if you collect any series pre-1900 you are going to have a cleaned coin - even if you stick to graded coins. To it is the degree of cleaning which should be considered when purchasing a coin. And I agree with others - some people will never complete collections without problem coins of some sort.&nbsp; I also think if you are truly worried about future values you should buy or invest somewhere else. I would like to think my heirs will recoup most of the value of the coins I have purchased - but if they don&#039;t then they don&#039;t.&nbsp; If they walk into a dealer and say sold - then yes they will lose money.&nbsp; If they sell them thru auctions then they might recoup more - but anything they recoup is more than they had.&nbsp; Just enjoy the hobby and understand the risks.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - Yes I do have problems coins in my collection. So far none of them are bad enough to make me get rid of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
