<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3322521, member: 76086"][USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] beat me to the punch mentioning eye appeal, which is really my main reason for selecting coins. It is of course a highly subjective concept as what appeals to some does not to others. Condition means very little to me except to say that I prefer my coins rather worn. Most of my coins are VF and below, with a smattering of EF's that just happened to be that grade but also had the eye appeal. I never know what I might be looking for until I see it. Knowing my monetary limitations I do not have a list but instead let the coins 'come to me'. I picked two examples below from my collection which show what is 'eye appeal' to me, but still rather worn and would not appeal to probably the average collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]880685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]880686[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
