    2 rolls of 50 circulation strike pennies sell for more than 100 times face value because of the wrapper.

    a one point difference in modern graded coins, ie... 69 to 70, can command such premiums as they do!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    When a lable like "first strike" has collector value.

    When I figured out the US mint can't make a 2009 cent without spots but the Euro coins all look proof like.

    It just as crazy when that happens for classic coins.

    When you submit one of the best coins you have ever seen and it comes back a MS63???

    And they bought that roll;
    A. to be the first to have them certified in hopes of profiting
    B. to be the first to post a picture here (sorry if I just rained on somebodies parade)

    One roll sold for $137.50

    And I'm amazed how 11 rolls (since I last counted) made their way from Denver to the east coast 2000 miles before surfacing.

    And we all know what a counting roll machine can do to coins but watch how many get certified MS65.

    Oops, sorry........you can all go back to the OP's question. image

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    My coins are labeled "cleaned," The big dealers are "conserved" or "curated."

    Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.

    ... you feel that all the coins you like are just too much money to collect.

    Uncirculated coins slabbed with hairlines, and VG coins bagged as "cleaned"

    ....when grade and profit are the primary consideration of so-called collectors. Cheers, RickO
