    i guess even for one of the most abused coins one would ever see for '95, $10 is probably still a decent deal? i'm also guessing that in the 90s, MUCH nicer examples were quite affordable compared to the past 10-15 years? i only entered numismatics officially around 2009 or so, therefore my comments are from that time forward.

    that whole paragraph are words of wisdom, especially for beginners of numismatics (collectables) and/or someone into a new series.

    I guess dogs were cheap back then :)
