For the lunatics of the forum ....Wafer biscuits and vimto will be served in ten minutes. Happy hour medication will be round on a trolley soon. Can we get back to sensible answers

I should imagine it is limited to conundrum collectors.

Does anybody have a real-life example of this hypothetical conundrum? Just wondering if we are tying ourselves in knots about a situation which doesn't actually exist as far as we know.

I would certainly pick a problem free, lesser grade example. I've learned from the few mistakes when I first started collecting of buying higher grade, blast white silver coins, of which upgrades to these have actually been slightly lower grade, but nice natural toning and far better eye appeal. Also, a copper half penny with nice detail.. but big black blotchy marks. I've learned to look at the eye appeal of a coin as a whole, rather than focusing too hard on grade.

Here is my contribution to the Half Penny Thread!
