I really hate rim dings and used to think that I would not want one, ever. Then I came across an 1872-H Twenty-Five Cents with the Die Break V in Victoria in Good with a small ding, so I bought it. For $15 I figured that I would live with the ding since the coin appears to have value beyond the normal 1872-H.

A year or so later I came across an 1874-H Twenty-Five Cents with the upside-down VVV's for AAA's in CANADA, again in Good with a slight rim ding. This one for less than $9. Then the same variety again on ebay, again with the ding for $20 this time.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I will buy a problem coin if it is an interesting or rare variety if the problem is slight. No cleaned, whizzed or otherwise mistreated coins though, even if they are rare.
