<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1963664, member: 27832&quot;]With most of the herd thundering to do the early flip or get into high-grade Early Release slabs, what about the lowball collectors?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m toying with the idea of generating what would surely be the greatest rarity of all -- a <i>heavily circulated</i> gold Kennedy half. Not truly circulated in commerce, of course; I&#039;m not ready to spend one at face value, thank you very much. But .9999 gold would surely wear very quickly as a pocket piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question: is there any way <i>to</i> generate a worn .9999 gold coin that wouldn&#039;t be viewed as a &quot;problem&quot; example? The metal is so very soft that it seems like it would wear in an ugly way -- dents, gouges, and scrapes -- rather than the smooth wear that lowball collectors prefer. There might be someone out there interested in a damaged Kennedy, but I&#039;m not interested in damaging one myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody have examples of (say) lowball First Spouse coins, or another circulated pure-gold issue?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
