<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1054706, member: 9167&quot;]Quite a few collectors prefer a nice worn coin, especially if the whole set is worn accordingly, to an unused piece. I like barber dimes in F-VF and have almost complete that set in such grades, as well as quite a few Bust Halves in the same grades. To know those coins were actually used by everyday people for everyday needs and the history that conveys to me is far more priceless than a piece that was saved away in a drawer for 200 years without ever seeing a pocket or a cash register.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the TPG&#039;s, I don&#039;t think they generally apply the same respect for less than near-perfect examples of such coins unless their rarity suggests otherwise.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
