<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 26674341, member: 101855"]Yes, that was my attitude. When I was lacking the 1796-7 half dollar, a dealer had one in Poor condition that had been holed and polished. He wanted $9,000 for it. If I had mortaged my underwear, I could have raised that, but I wanted no part of that coin. It's better to have a hole in your collection than something like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
