<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2541274, member: 36230"]With the understanding that someone may jump and address this before you respond and I have a chance to back, please let me ask you this: is there anything about this coin that you personally find less than ideal, unattractive, or even (to you) questionable, etc, etc? This example displays a certain "something" that, while acceptable, also detracts (or should I say can detract) from its overall appeal, and is something some collectors prefer to avoid. It's not a bad coin, and again there's nothing "wrong" with it, but overall I couldn't, in good conscience, recommend paying up for it. Others may feel differently, but it's not an inexpensive coin, especially for one new to the hobby, and it's my long-held belief that one should err on the side of caution. </p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever buying a coin, do try to remember that quality will sell itself while average must either be cheap or wait for the right buyer.

If willing to pay up, you're most certainly going to be better off doing so for something genuinely special, and truth be told, you're also likely to enjoy it more as well.
