<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2837159, member: 76194"]Great deal. That's one way to get rare coins into one's collection. If one wants to do this hobby on a budget and doesn't mind having many coins at low prices, instead of a smaller and very expensive collection of high end stuff, there's a lot of bargains to be had with otherwise rare/expensive coins which others don't want because of test cuts, crystalization, wear, uneven toning or Patina, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey, I just remembered, this one was $80 due to the test cut. Had that not been there, this would have been easily a $120 coin. The $40 savings was used towards another coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> No regrets getting it and saving myself some money.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]670255[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone who has a some $500 to $1000 coins in his collection, frankly many of my favorite purchased have been the budget types.
