    Lets see some coins you wanted, but got away.

    Here's one I added to my watch list. It had an decent(+$80) opening price and a buy it now. I was hoping to get it close to opening bid during the auction. Just checked my watch list to see someone used the buy it now at $129. Super bummed out. Was going to add it to the 1912 I bought from LostDutchman earlier this year.

    Here's my 1912

    Both have mirrors on the back. You can see the camera in my picture.

    Neat stuff! I have missed out on a bunch of stuff, but I figure it was not meant to be. Here's one I have been wanting for a long time, but just haven't wanted to pay what it costs to get one:

    Here's another that costs less than the Central American, but which is still a bit of a stretch for me:

    I posted a CAR coin as the one that got away 3-years ago at CT. It was a beautiful 2 R coin that was slated to be my Christmas present. Here is the link: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-christmas-present-got-sniped-away-from-me.146601/

    What denomination is the coin that got away from you?

    Notable misses were an over the top toned Morgan that I lost reception when I was on the road to bid on at ha live and a 1873 proof trade I never got the live auction alert or the outbid notice from stacks until after missed it by one bid at $2450
