<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1055482, member: 25357&quot;]I like worn/circulated coins as well, for many of the same reasons you state. Their history appeals to me, who held that coin in my collection 50, 100 or 150 years ago? What kind of stories could it tell? I think there are manycollectors out there who find old worn coins appealing. That would be my bit of advice to you; it&#039;s your collection, collect what you like!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You may not get the premiums when you go to sell that someone who only collects MS coins will, but I&#039;ve always considered my involvement in collecting coins as something fun to do. Any financial gains I might accrue are just gravy.</p><p>The nice thing about collecting heavily circulated US silver coins(up to VF or so depending on date/mm) is that most dates and mint marks can be had for around their melt value, making them relatively inexpensive to collect. But at the end of the day, you still have a bunch of silver that you could sell, in a market like this one, if you&#039;ve been collecting for years, you&#039;ll probably even make some money.</p><p>I also am a big fan of they way those circulated silver coins toned over the years, I&#039;m not talking about the crazy rainbow toning that many morgan collectors pay big bucks for these days, but just regular gun metal grey toning.</p><p>I&#039;ve attached a couple of key dates that I still need to complete both my Morgan and SLQ collections. These coins would fit in nicely with the grades I collect.</p><p>I&#039;ve been hunting the right coin to finish both these collections for years now. But hey, that&#039;s part of the fun as well.</p><p>Both these are fairly high dollar coins, which brings me to another point, it is possible to turn a profit if you collect circulated key dates, simply because they are high demand coins, but you&#039;ll probably have to hold onto them for a while.</p><p>Anyhow, I&#039;m rambling...happy collecting to you!:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
