<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3230520, member: 19463"]I agree. Most of Finn's coins are really quite special for a reason I doubt everyone would appreciate but that is what makes it extra special that Finn does appreciate them. Of those shown, I would rate the Pilate as the worst deal but we all overpay now and then either in our own eyes or the eyes of the world. It might be interesting how many lots of coins Finn examined and rejected on the way to finding these winners. Were these online or in-person finds? Twice in my collecting life, I have bought lots of over 30 coins because there was one coin in the group that I really wanted. I did retain some others from both of those lots but would not have bought either had the one coin not been there. In each case, some of the people I showed the coins believed the best coins in the lot did not include the one that made me buy the lot. I don't know where Finn lives but I am glad he and the coins could find each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
