<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 371417, member: 12965&quot;]My biggest blunder was using the wrong price guide to base a bid on. The coin was a Barber Haf-Dollar and I accidently clicked on the Barber Quarter price guide and the quarter for that year &amp; mint was scarcer than the half-dollar so it&#039;s value was much more than the half. I got lucky that no one tried to outbid me or I would have had to pay more for it than I would have normally paid for it, because the amount I bid was more than it was worth but because the bid was low when I placed the bid, I only ended up paying the next bid up and not anywhere near what I bid.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I almost did it again with a 1831 Matron Head Cent because I clicked on the Classic Head Half-Cent price guide instead of the Matron Cent price guide.&nbsp; :goofer:&nbsp; The price for the 1831 half-cent ($$$$) is what made me look at the top of the price guide to see my mistake.&nbsp; :rolling:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
