<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3413334, member: 19463&quot;]Of course we are rooting for you being so happy that you wish you had bought more but this is very much a matter of making your desires and expectations align with the actual coins.&nbsp; If you stay with the hobby for many years, you probably will wonder, &quot;What was I thinking?&quot; at some point.&nbsp; I hope you will realize then that these coins served an important role in your hobby development.&nbsp; People who only collect mint state coins don&#039;t read my posts anyway so I can share the secret.&nbsp; Don&#039;t worry about making mistakes.&nbsp; If you are (wisely!) only spending hobby money and not your retirement investments (whether that is a hundred a year or a million a month) learn what you can from those coins and enjoy them.&nbsp; I still kick myself for not buying a couple coins thirty years ago and I have a box full of what I call &#039;trade stock&#039; that no one wants.&nbsp; Neither of those are as serious mistakes as my still worrying about it.&nbsp; Enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
