<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2800691, member: 19463&quot;]Here again we face the question that has two sides each believing their answer is correct.&nbsp; If the best known or only known example of a coin is not high grade, does the coin exist?&nbsp; There are plenty of types available in mint state so it is not necessary for condition collectors to stoop to a VF or VG.&nbsp; I am sure there are coin types represented by no specimen better than poor.&nbsp; Whether any coin survived the centuries is very much a matter of chance.&nbsp; It is quite possible that the only survivor might be mint state but luck usually takes the other turn.&nbsp; Good luck on the upgrade dreams.&nbsp; I have several coins I would like to upgrade, too, but in the meanwhile I will enjoy what I have.</p><p>My worst rare/unique(?) coin:</p><p>Septimius Severus Alexandria mint denarius INVICTO IMP reverse (common from Emesa but not known from Alexandria)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]652858[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
