<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbadexample, post: 4452394, member: 100740&quot;]People&#039;s attitudes towards gaps are interesting. My view is that if you have to fill the gap, then the ugly, scratched up (but not altered) cent is fine. At least you have a genuine example. Most times, I&#039;d rather see a gap.

In the case of modern replicas, you&#039;ve also fuelled the fakes market. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I get the collection of contemporary counterfeits, although it&#039;s not for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I laugh when I see Royal Mint albums for things like the Olympic 50ps, with a space for a &quot;completer medallion&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1111178[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>People can&#039;t bear to have a gap, so they have to buy a worthless shiny round thing to tell them that they&#039;ve got all the others. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
