    Subpar coins or subpar for the grade- In all fairness, I see a significant difference

    That's a puzzling question. This sure is a conundrum.

    The collection is enigmatic or so planned (yeah, it is) - me? Enigmatic? Idiotic? As a collector I'd settle for "impossible"

    Is sub par in the eye of the beholder?image

    For example: Coins are great in the eye of the seller and often sub par in the eye of the buyer...then when the transaction is complete...image
    All the best,

    Yes, they do, but determining the right price is said to be very hard image
