[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 248456, member: 6763"]Rono: It does seem that you have spent a lot of time thinking about this. (Especially considering the comment about your wife's funds-- smart man!) Just be careful, and try to buy as close to bid as possible. If anyone tries to sell over ask, run, don't walk. Unless it is a REALLY choice piece. Yes, I have paid over ask, but for choice pieces. Currently I have on hold a Barber Half, a 1913 D mintage of 534,000. I think that it is a real sleeper-- and priced at a common date. It is a PCGS AU-55, and I am ready & willing to pay over ask, especially since it is the first one that I have seen in years. Also, I paid over ask for an XF-40+ 1914 Barber half, and a 1914 half in MS-63, just try to find another! In fact, I paid nearly trends at the time and would have paid over trends, for either of them. Those are truly scarce coins. Good luck.[/QUOTE]
