That's probably a little too out of my budget, near term at least. Over time who knows. I would like to snag a bargain MS63 at some point, which is right before even the larger mintage years take off in price. One I was eyeing just had too many flaws for my tastes - for that grade. I also want to resist 1932's if I can, as there are so many more coins available in that year than any other!

There tends to be lots of black marks, and spotting, and dark areas on many of those being sold. Some slashes ( like on the reverse eagle breast area on this one ) and marked up chins and cheeks I am less picky about, but I don't care for the big swatches of black. This one seller on ebay, tnfc, has lots of black on almost every single one of his MANY listings - even the MS64s and MS65s, I think the only one w/o is a 66. LOL One dealer told me some collector's like the black marks as they re-assure them they are genuine. I think it detracts from the eye-appeal a lot. With the circulated gold, it is such a "relatively soft" metal that nicks and scratches are impossible to avoid when people carried them around in change purses and pockets etc.
JMHO
