<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 734223, member: 4552"]I really think your looking at this hobby all wrong. Think of this as buying an old oil painting. If you found a painting from a really well known artist, liked it a lot, the price was really great but it had a scratch on it. So what? If you want it, can afford it, why not? </p><p>Only a certain amount of 1957 Chevy's were made. If you found one for really cheap price, really great condition, always wanted one but this one had a scratch on the door, would you pass on that? </p><p>All I'm trying to say is this is a hobby. When it comes to coins, look at them and if you like them, buy them and the heck with a scratch or two. If you look at a coin and the scratches bother you, don't really need the coin, just pass. </p><p>For me to fill an Album, I really don't care about some minor scratches at all. Of course there are limits to scratches too for anyone. Lots and lots of them would be like buying a 1957 Chevy all smashed to bits. Or that oil painting all ripped to pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
