<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Akovia, post: 1054647, member: 28060&quot;]Thank you very much for the informative and concise answer. It pretty much confirmed my suspicions, though I didn&#039;t have any idea how such things would grade. It&#039;s kinda sad that such things aren&#039;t considered more while grading, but I can completely understand as it is so subjective.</p><p><br /></p><p>You hear (see) the phrase &quot;Looks better in hand&quot; thrown around so much that I feel it would be hard to rely on that unless you know the seller doesn&#039;t throw it around lightly. You can bet almost every coin will look better in hand than in a picture. =P </p><p><br /></p><p>Not being a professional numismatic yet, and not having the bankroll to just go out and purchase what I want, I find myself roll searching with whatever cash I can come up with to get started in the hobby. I do search for key dates and errors, but sometimes come across coins that draw me in even though they show no apparent numismatic value at all. It&#039;s nice to know that even though they have no extra value, other people appreciate them as well. It&#039;s not just worn coins either, though I&#039;m not particularly attracted to dimes, the low to mid 80&#039;s have a wonderful deep-dish, bold design that is such a contrast to other years and find myself picking out the best examples and putting them aside. I guess this is what it&#039;s like to have the coin collecting bug.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to ramble and thanks again,</p><p>Ako[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
