<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 540136, member: 4552"]As already noted, lots of different issues being discussed. The term low end is just what some call the poorest grad of a coin. Not sure but I suspect that a long time ago Whitman started the term GOOD meaning a coin that is really poor or a mess. Note the grade G-4 probably really means YUK to some. </p><p>As to a pile of cars of low value compared to one of high value. Check out the insurance rates for a high priced car compared to a Chevy or Honda. And where would you drive a $250,000 Ferrari? To a Jewel Food mart parking lot? And they don't hold much in the way of food anyway. </p><p>With the economy as it now is try selling a $10,000 coin compared to a $10 coin. And as already noted if you try selling a coin that is SUPPOSED to be worth $1,000 and your only offer is $500, your coin is worth $500.</p><p>Myself, I would rather look for any coin I need or want regardless of it being in only good or fair condition. Not sure why people want a coin that cost so much it has to be in a slab. Just me but I can't see having an album with a note saying that the empty slots have coins but in a slab hidden somewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
