<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3321536, member: 83956&quot;]My sense is that condition is a bigger influence upon price than style. Maybe that would change with high-end coins. But I think it takes a trained eye to appreciate fine style, and most collectors do not have that eye. But they can tell rough surfaces from smooth ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps it’s an indictment of my own eye that I chose condition in the poll above. Even so, my limited budget means I have to buy some coins in minimally acceptable grades. I’m trying to be more selective as a collector, but that’s a work in progress.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: It appears that Richard above beat me to these comments.
