<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 4476699, member: 100740&quot;]Don&#039;t. Really, please don&#039;t. We all collect differently. Most people post their best stuff because they like to show off (I very definitely include myself in this - you ask for an 1862 coin, I go to find a nice one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). It&#039;s part of the hobby. Personally I don&#039;t have much that&#039;s in the very highest grades - I like the tactility of coins, so I like to hold them. Not much point in having coins I&#039;d be scared to pick up. Coins were meant to be spent. Slabs are something to crack open.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t be thinking we&#039;ve nothing worn or ugly in our collections*!</p><p><br /></p><p>Great Britain 1d 1872.
