NOTE: The following are MY opinions AND my buying philosophy.
1. I buy the best I can afford. Sometimes that means I have to wait for the right coin to show up; I won't buy just to have a particular coin if it's not right.
2. I skip the grades MS-60, -61 and -62 unless they are the best I can afford. I take an AU-58 (or even an AU-55) if my budget can't reach to MS-63 or better.
In the last three Baltimore Whitman shows I have returned home empty-handed from two.
My budget is too tight to put money into a coin that won't satisfy me.
