<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3704538, member: 76194"]Let's be honest, 95% of those in this forum are not dealers, we are collectors. So yes, I suspect most of us have paid 10%, or even 20% or 30% more than they should have for a particular coin that really caught our attention for some reason or another, such as toning, style, etc. If this was a money making venture for me, I would not have bought 70%+ of the coins I did. Instead I'd be looking to buy popular coins that sell at a premium such as Athenian owls and Julius Caesars and holding them for a decade, or looking for uncatalogued coins at bargain prices that I could turn around and sell at a premium for being "unknown variety".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
