<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2865271, member: 31286&quot;]Yeah, a couple of times and I regretted it every time!&nbsp; Better to save, beg, borrow or sell something to buy a solid piece - at least that&#039;s the way it is for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two come to mind - a raw Carson City Double Eagle with a scratch that earned it a details grade and an early type one double eagle that had a clean grade but an ugly mint made spot on it.&nbsp; Neither was much fun to own and when I sold them I was lucky to get out with minor losses.&nbsp; Not satisfying. Now I try to make every addition to my collection something interesting - not the best available necessarily, just something interesting about the coin and with no problems.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mind VF and XF grades.&nbsp; Don&#039;t generally go much lower.&nbsp; I Like circulated coins.&nbsp; Mint State coins seem boring to me.&nbsp; Hah![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
