<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2411139, member: 46237"]This is an excellent point and something I wasn't even considering. It depends heavily on what you collect. Really anything where problem free examples are plentiful makes problem coins extremely undesirable. Take moderns for example. But for some sets, it's tough finding <i>any</i> example of a particular coin, problem or not. If your collection contains coins like that, of course you will be happy with problem coins. It's really an apples to oranges comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, my Washington quarters set doesn't have any problem coins and doesn't need to. They are plentiful in problem-free uncirculated grades. My capped bust quarters die marriage set has some problem coins. I have no problem paying the right price for a problem coin for that set if it's for an R4 or scarcer variety in the right die state. In my Habsburg coronation jetons/medals and Austro-Hungarian type set, some of the rarer issues I would be happy to find an example with a minor problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
