<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Akovia, post: 1054616, member: 28060&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I&#039;m sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any value to coins based only on eye appeal, disregarding other factors such as rarity and such? I am new to coin collecting per se, but I&#039;ve always had an appreciation for good looking coins, some of which were probably not rare but just had a great look to them because of the way they were worn down without any real damage otherwise. Kinda like someone rubbed it for good luck every day but didn&#039;t let bang up against other coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure most avid collectors probably like to deal with only proof and MS coins, but a really nicely worn coin just speaks to me somehow and I wondered if I was the only one. From my experience, not all coins wear nicely because of the design, while others almost look like they were meant to be worn down. Some old GW quarters are just fantastic looking if worn properly, as are walker halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, just wondered if there are people that actually collect worn coins purposefully, and if professional grading gives a lot of weight to this subjective trait, or cares more about whether certain details are visible or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Ako[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
