<p>[QUOTE="Dumanyu, post: 258765, member: 5128"]IMHO, if you wnat the coin with a little damage, and you know what your buying, then go for it. We are collectors, and while I have no problem with people selling or trading, as I do it myself on occassion, I am a collector!!! If it works for me to buy a slightly damaged coin, so be it. I have this coin...</p><p><img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m138/dumanyu2/DSCN0986.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m138/dumanyu2/DSCN0987.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And after posting the pics on my forum, I got positive feedback, except for a comment on the little scratch next to the 8 and above the "E". I was a bit put out that someone would criticize so small a thing. It's like the reference I made on another posting, with regard to stamp collecting. Some stamp collectors only collect stamps that are unhinged (weren't stuck to anything for the uninitiated), as if the back of the stamp is more important then the portrait. What's the point? Because it decreases the value? I'm not doing this to make money, but to enjoy my hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay...end of rant...:hatch:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
