    I dumped a ton of "slicks" in the past for melt. To me, that's all they were worth. I don't understand the appeal of finding and spending a premium plus grading fees on what I consider junk, but that's just my opinion and my collecting objectives. Others see beauty in lowballs or collect them on a lark. To each their own. I just don't get it.

    On the flip side some folks rave about MS-69/70 and justify paying a 10x premium over a 67 or 68 for them. That end of the spectrum never appealed to me.

    @Zoins Halloween is coming so it's appropriate that you should show a coin with two ghosts on one side and their ghost ship on the other side. Very cool coin. B)

    Yea, that one is pretty cool looking, unlike a Kennedy in the same grade.

    With what sellers are looking for a buyer to pay for the lowball coin, I will mostly buy a high grade coin for my set.

    I agree with that statement as well.
