<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1312724, member: 19463"]I have to agree that EF ancients are rare. I have only a couple coins that approach that level and in many cases I prefer the look of VF coins since real EF's often have a surface texture that I find disturbing but that wears away when the coin goes to VF. Where I differ with the market is that I find well struck but honestly worn to fine is more pleasing than poorly struck and textured mint state factory seconds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
