[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2489620, member: 26302"]I hear you sir. Very interesting type. I have never seen it before. I know that because my eyes know more than my brain does it seems. I looked at the coin and had to stop and look it over very closely. That is how I know when I have never seen a coin type before. :) I do the same, (regarding your raising your bids). I ask myself at what price am I ok NOT owning the coin, and the answer usually is much higher than what I would LIKE to own the coin for. The Sogdian gold I posted earlier was an example. I bid, then raised my own bid twice before the auction closed. I think I bid about three time what I purchased it for. I might have been mad losing it even at that price. Coin collecting is a hobby, not a money making enterprise. Who cares about resale value when you are facing a possibility of never being able to own something again at ANY price? Fantastic acquisition sir.[/QUOTE]
