Most collectors (vs flippers) avoid the silver+golds for this reason. I've had a few but have not kept a single one because I've never had one with a hologram worth keeping.
Given how rare these are in terms of numbers, I don't think it makes sense to avoid them bases on the hologram unevenness. It simply won't matter in the long run, especially if, like you say, the majority are this way.

I will say that I only kept perfectly placed holograms in my personal collection also only MS-67's.

It seems paradoxical...

1BTC silvers have a hologram that's too big for the coin, so Casascius used his laser to melt the outer edge of the holos. On early coins, these melt rings were generally symmetrical. On later coins -- silver+gold especially -- many of the melt rings are terribly uneven. Check the pictures in OP. ANACS, the third-rate coin grading service that is also the only place willing to grade Casascius coins, does not factor the hologram into their grading system IN ANY FASHION, so it's possible to have two coins with equal grades where one is much more visually appealing than the other. Most collectors (vs flippers) avoid the silver+golds for this reason. I've had a few but have not kept a single one because I've never had one with a hologram worth keeping. THAT SAID, if you're buying these coins to grade and sell, go ahead. Just make sure you sell before the market smartens up and starts buying the coin instead of the grade ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks a lot for your explanation.
