<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 2080206, member: 3726"]Actually it depends on what you are looking at. Looks like the collection has 341 coins in the AU range all graded by NGC. Only 30 of them are in NGC details holders. Granted a few more of the coins look like they were treated by sulfer in some manner, but just my opinion. Now I did not look at every coin like you did, but I did see more than a few that I would not mind having. Now if the person was collecting by variety - then an AU range bust half collection is pretty impressive. Granted not all are what I would call choice AU, but still I would consider it a nice collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>While you say focus on quality - well quality means something different to everyone. I am happy having a large cent collection in the PO - XF/AU range. All I need is a 1793 liberty cap - I am sure that will not be a very high grade, and maybe even a details coin. While I wait on it when I see a middle date or later date I can upgrade I do it. The middle dates I am looking at the VF range and XF/AU for later date coins. All a personal choice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
