[QUOTE="scott1974, post: 2188763, member: 67315"]I have a chance to buy a very rare coin in an anacs details holder. It has a bad trifecta of scratch cleaning and plugged with a low grade. But this coin is also severely rare. According to several references less than 500 exist and in lowly g6 it's worth about 900.. if you can find one. I think I can get this coin for about 450. So I have a limited budget and most of the time couldn't even afford 450 much less 900 to 2000 for a g to vg specimen. If you were collecting a set and you had the chance to get a truly rare stopper in the series even with these problems would you bite? Or hope that one comes available in the next for years that is low grade AND no details in a pool of only 500 or less coins total. And hope you have the funds to go for it then. I want to get this coin because I might not have the money or the chance again for a long time ... but the details grade with 3 problems kinda scares me if I ever sell my set down the road. I'm just kinda getting ideas what others might think or do if this was presented to a series you collect.[/QUOTE]
