Some want as high of a grade as possible, some prefer toned coins, and some (myself included) LOVE the look of WORN coins. Definitely not &quot;beat up&quot;... - that&#039;s just plain ugly. But coins worn down from simply being handled/circulated so much, that most people would simply pass off as a cull, have a certain draw to them. A majesty, or dignity, that mint-state coins simply lack.</p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite coins I own, are the most worn. Not dinged, dented, bent, scratched, or otherwise ugly - just worn smooth over time. Usually with most major elements still visible, often from different colors of toning or tarnish (lol). There is just something about them. They are beautiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not everyone&#039;s cup of tea, though <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
