<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kountryken, post: 8030687, member: 89798&quot;]I don&#039;t have a coin shop on my area, either. I also don&#039;t have a &quot;coin budget&quot;. My collection is very important to me, and I collect what I like. If I happen upon a coin I like, or need to fill a spot in my collection, and have the money to afford it, I generally will buy it. Generally, as already mentioned, you can talk the dealer down in price, but sometimes they won&#039;t budge off their price. Then I have a decision to make. First, do I have the money? Second, do I want this coin for my collection, even though I may be over paying? I try to think about how many of that coin have I seen for sale? When will the opportunity present itself, again, where I have the money, and coin in hand to look at and decide if I like it? If it &quot;doesn&#039;t feel right&quot;, I walk away. But, if it&#039;s one I&#039;ve been looking for and have seen very few of, and I don&#039;t get a &quot;bad&quot; feeling about, then I buy the coin for &quot;me&quot;. I&#039;m not trying to buy for someone else, and I&#039;m not trying to make money on a coin for my collection. My collecting is a hobby, not a business. I don&#039;t ever plan on selling my collection (Did that one time, don&#039;t plan on doing it again. Unless times were &quot;hard&quot;). So, I collect for the fun of it, basically. I enjoy my hobby. If buying a coin makes me happy, then I made a good purchase, to me! Again, we&#039;re talking about lesser expensive coins, not paying $3000 for a $2000 valued coin, as pointed out, already by [USER=74624]@wxcoin[/USER]. Enjoy your coin. You felt good about it when you bought it, continue to feel good about it. And now, look for the 1892 one at a better deal![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
