On a scale of 1 to 5 where would you rank....


... the importance of the following factors when making a new purchase for your collection (not to resell)

1 - Type
2 - Key date
3 - Eye appeal
4 - Cost/value for the money
5 - Numerical grade

Remember, this is about what you want to keep forever, not to make a profit on...

    Wait, is each one rated one to five, or do I put them in order of importance?

    edit: Wait. Are we putting the options in order? or ranking each option from 1 to 5? (I ranked each option...it just worked out that no numbers were reused.)

    LOL , you guys are a riot !!! I was asking which of the five factors are most important to you. I see so many forum members who want the key dates so bad , that they could care less about the cost. Others, its all about the grade or having the wildest toning. I was wondering if any of you would say "Type" as being the most important factor, in a desperate attempt to fill out that 7070.

    If you asked me a year ago you would have gotten a different response.

    Eye appeal and value are key to me now.

    Actually, all of them are of equal importance. I want the most eye appealing coin that is a key date for the type I collect in a numerical grade I desire at a price that is of great value.
