sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 10:37 pm Some excessively rare coins in poor condition can still be pricey. Generally speaking, I am not motivated by them, unless the price is right for me. With ancient coins, if they are REALLY cheap I will buy poor coins anyway, but the motivation is quite different. The fun of the challenge to identify them can loom large. However, I would much rather have a common ancient coin in top condition, than an excessively rare one in poor condition, unless it was for study purposes. Report this Post to the Staff
Senex Valued Member 291 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 10:53 pm Generally I'd say VG-8 but if a really rare coin came along in a lower grade and it was priced right, I might go for it. Report this Post to the Staff
