<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 706877, member: 17261&quot;]All Memorials are under-appreciated. Collectors are making a big mistake ignoring them and the TPG&#039;s are horrible at grading them IMO. A quality collection cannot be had by simply going to ebay and buying a BU set for $20. I guarantee you I&#039;d reject every single coin in such a purchased &quot;collection&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All Memorial cents have: die issues, stike issues, hits, spots and corrosion. They were mostly produced in the billions which means attention to quality by the mint was basically non-existent. They passed though the Mint QC as &quot;good enough&quot;. Finding high-quality pieces is very, very difficult and just because you may buy a slabbed MS-68 coin doesn&#039;t mean you have quality. I would also reject the vast majority of slabbed Memorial cents because the TPG&#039;s don&#039;t have a passion for the series and don&#039;t understand them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
