[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 339691, member: 11521"]Consider that as tuition for your numismatic education. Some people pay a WHOLE lot more than $75 (less the true value of your coin) for their education. Don't feel bad about making a mistake like this. We all have made mistakes. My advice is to LEARN from your mistake. I am glad to hear that you are still interested in the hobby after falling for an overgraded self-slabbed coin. Many people leave the hobby after getting swindled (and that's a shame). Educate yourself and you will greatly increase your odds of enjoying the hobby. As to what to do with the coin - you can always sell it on eBay. Just describe it exactly for what it is. Make no claims as to the accuracy of the grade. This is an extension of [I]The Greater Fool Theory[/I] which states that if you were a fool to buy something you need to find a greater fool to unload it on.[/QUOTE]
