Message:: [QUOTE="MK Ultra, post: 8306877, member: 108322"]I love the walking liberty half dollar series.  I recently came across a 1921 D graded (NGC or PCGS, I forget which), AU 58.  Dealer said $8,500.00.  It's blast white, checks all the boxes, a very nice looking coin.  I didn't pull the trigger at the show because it was difficult to rationalize (?) spending that amount of money on a coin. I have 3 nieces that are approaching 16 years old, and while I doubt I'll be buying any of them an automobile, I kept thinking, I could buy 2 or 3 automobiles for the price of one coin. I saw the dealer at a subsequent show, and he had a dummy with him.  Not literally, like Jeff Dunham, but someone that I guess was a friend?  They start babbling on, "Do you want to eat steak or chicken nuggets?  Ha ha ha?"  Which got me to thinking, is he good for business?  Because I think I get the point he was trying to make, do you want to have this $8,500.00 coin, or are you happy with your ANACS VG 8 that cost $325.00?  But the reality is, he put in my head do I want to continue to not have to worry about eating, or do I want to drop all that cash on a coin and be stuck eating ramen noodles for some period of time to get back to a level of comfort?  Not that I'd be in trouble if I bought the coin and something happened, but rather, would I have buyer's remorse? Anyone else have this struggle?[/QUOTE]
