Rare American Coins and Collecting the Highest Quality Examples
Quality is an important goal in coin collecting.
Generally speaking you should buy the best quality you can afford; of course the higher the quality, the higher the price and the smaller collection you will have.
If you have the money, then quality can become everything.
If your pockets are deep enough, you can collect the finest known examples of coin varieties.
Finest known won't always be an MS70.
Many Pre1800's silver dollar examples have no uncirculated examples.
The finest known might only be an XF example.
The problem with collecting the finest known examples of your rare American coins is that you need to keep updating your collection as better examples show up for grading.
Collecting finest known rare American coins however, allows you the privilege of registering your coin with PCGS or NGC on their set registry lists.
It enables you to determine how your collection stacks up against other similar collections.
In the end, your silver dollar collection reflects who you are.
Let your collection reflect your personality, and collect what truly appeals to you.
It's all about enjoying the process.
