<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2689169, member: 71234&quot;]The beauty of worn coinsis that you can&#039;t really hurt them by being casual with them. You can handle them, and not worry about knocking a grade number off.</p><p><br /></p><p>My partner asked me for a 1916 British silver half crown to give as a christening present as a 100 year old anniversary (pranniverseary =Pre-anniversary?) for a kid born last year. I dug out an AU&nbsp; example but on thinking about it (did I want a really nice coin to have some horrible fate as a child&#039;s plaything or be stuck in the back of a drawer for a decade or two?) so I found I had a decent circulated 1917 I will give her instead. Score one for the well circulated coin.The nice example can go to someone who appreciates it , like ME.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally a VF to EF example is a good as I&#039;d be willing to pay for, although any better ones that just happen along&nbsp; are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
