Clueless people who know nothing about proper preservation, might go and ruin a old, high grade coin. Polishing it with silver polish, soaking it in acid, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think coins in higher grades offer a better return. 40 years from now there will probably be as many 1880 BH&#039;s as there were 40 years ago, but there will more or less likely be less surviving in higher grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
