Message:: [QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 590431, member: 16060"]I thought by now someone would have told me I made a big mistake.  But here is my logic step by step (consider this training also for justifying the things we do): #1- I have no intention of ever selling the coins, but I do like it when a coin(s) become worth more than what I paid, and I'll be the first to admit it. I have no use for the rolls since selling is not what I do. Hard to enjoy looking at a roll for me. But, for others whatever their intention is blongs to them and I hope they enjoy it.  #2- After saying the above it makes more sense to me to pay what I paid for two certified coins than spend more than that for the rolls.  That is just me, if the rolls suit you better than go for it.  #3- Let's suppose a year from now the coins are worth 50% less than what I paid for them. If I sold them at that price, which won't happen, that would mean a loss of less than $20.00.  Can anyone here say they have ever spent $20.00 they shouldn't have?  #4- This is my son's first year in coin collecting.  All the hype about Lincoln this year is the first time he has ever been exposed to something like this in coin collecting.  I'm sure (I hope) when these coins become his and his younger brother he will remember all the time him and I spent talking about these coins and Lincoln himself.  He has also taken it upon himself to do some reading on Lincoln, slavery, and the Civil War.[/QUOTE]
