<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1294141, member: 28233&quot;]depends really which coin you want, if for instance you find a french 1 liard in good condition and you really want the coin then there is no harm buying it to add to your collection until you find a better example. </p><p><br /></p><p>in the bank of england museum some of the very early exhibits (1680) are quite poor and most collectors would not want them in their collection because they are not pristine, but as they are ultra rare then any example is collectable regardless of condition. i always become extremely suspicious if i see some ancient and medieval coins offered in unc grades as there are some extremely good copies by the likes of trevor ashmore which have even fooled the most dilligent of collectors. </p><p>so really grade isn&#039;t that important when compared to rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>hope this makes sense......................[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
