<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1596830, member: 26302&quot;]It will boil down to what kind of collector you are. I am a person who wishes to see the coins details and study it. Others are more about the beauty of the strike and color. Nothing wrong with any approach in coin collecting, and using any approach can lead to forming a fine collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>The one word of caution would be to avoid &quot;problem&quot; coins. It can be tempting to buy cheap a coin with a lot of details but a major issue or two, but they are usually wasted money. Better off to save your money for a coin you will really enjoy.</p><p><br /></p><p>A perfect example would be Paul&#039;s post #23. He views the top coin&#039;s lack of marks and color, agrees with a 67 grade, and likes it. Good for him, really. I always like it when a collector buys a coin he likes. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, its a mushy mess that I would not pay over $10 for, and that is only because of its date and MM. If I found a similar 51d in change I would not bother to keep it for face value. I simply don&#039;t like mushy coins, considering them inferior quality. </p><p><br /></p><p>Same coin, different responses from different collectors. Neither, (or both), of us are right. This is the beauty of this hobby, room for all. Don&#039;t judge others collecting habits, and do not accept others judgment of your preferences. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
