Would you buy an overgraded (probably overpriced) piece of junk coin just because...

there may actually not exist a coin for that date/mm/strike designation any nicer? It's quite a dilemma actually.

    Well…not exactly; however, some coins are soooo tough that if you want an example within a given budget you have to lower your standard or you will never own that elusive coin to complete whatever set your working on. I recently purchased this 1793 Chain Cent and it’s better than most for the assigned grade. I’m just happy to finally own one that’s needed to complete my Type Set!

    That's no piece of junk! I'm more talking about how nice the coin is relative to the grade given. If I was super rich of course I could just buy it anyway or even get it downgraded or do whatever I want with it. But cash is precious and I need to choose very carefully.

    If I were to fill this hole there would probably be some kind of acceptable ED to go with the coin...

    That’s a really nice chain cent, by no means “junk”. I have filled a couple holes with “details” coins that are really nice, other than the main problem, which can become quite personal on what one wants to accept.
