<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 2411295, member: 13650"]It would have to depend on what it was. Nothing that's readily available would need to be purchased with a problem obviously. But it does put some pieces within reach that otherwise wouldn't be. </p><p> As an example, the 1839-O $2.5 is a very popular first year of issue (mint mark on the front) that is often found in details slabs, for thousands of dollars. I've seen several I wouldn't mind having with a details grade. Despite the minor problem, the condition some can be obtained in would be multiples of the price without the problem, for the same example. Not that there's ever that many for sale anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
