<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HappyHighway, post: 2643631, member: 78142&quot;]It&#039;s hard to explain. The numismatist in me would love to only buy choice MS examples that are certified. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, the kid in me and the coin collector in me absolutely loves &quot;clean&quot; examples of coins in Fine to Extra Fine or so because they are embedded with history, show character and use. My mint state half eagle might have sat in a bank vault somewhere but that corroded 1877 Indian head I own may have travelled the entire country ten times over.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s personally my greatest dilemma. Hence cracking out the coin. I also like to be closer to my coins and create the latest chapter in their long history. I just don&#039;t want to damage them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
