<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8208935, member: 19463&quot;]I really disagree with this post.&nbsp; The question is not so much whether you want to save $5 finding a cheaper coin like this or whether you want this coin at any price when you could find one that is not so much of a wreck with a little shopping.&nbsp; That is especially the case with this Valentinian despite it having no wear.&nbsp; Terrible surfaces don&#039;t heal.&nbsp; Buying such a coin at such a price encourages the seller to sell worse coins for more.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another story:&nbsp; At a show a dealer had many boxes of coins all clearly marked with prices.&nbsp; He was not a negotiator but offered decent coins for decent prices.&nbsp; One coin was marked &quot;25 cents to you if you take it.&quot; I was buying several coins from him and added it to my stack and took his quarter.&nbsp; I now regret not adding that coin to my collection and photographing it so I could show it here.&nbsp; Honestly, I don&#039;t know what ever happened to that coin but I suspect it was given to a kid who would be forty-something by now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
