That being that you do not have the coin you want. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing you have to understand Amanda, when it comes to world coins like this it is not as easy to find them as it is to find US coins. There&#039;s really 2 reasons for that. 1 - they are not as popular in the US as US coins so not as many people deal in them. And 2 - the actual rarity of these coins, when compared to the rarity of of comparable US coins, usually exceeds the rarity of US coins. So there are not as many of them out there to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, dealers in these coins are well aware of that. So they play upon the emotions and the frustrations of collectors, and often will ask high prices hoping that the collector will just give in and pay it just so they can finally have the coin they want. I have succumbed to that temptation myself in the past.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s where patience comes into play. If you don&#039;t want to pay premiums - you wait until the day comes that you don&#039;t have to. And it will come.</p><p><br /></p><p>You need to also realize the the TPGs often over-grade world coinage. And then when the dealer obtains it the coin is priced accordingly. So if it&#039;s over-grade, it&#039;s also over-priced. The two things go hand in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
