<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 26600585, member: 82181&quot;]At the end of the day we all have our moments of weakness and pursue something we quickly regret; on the other hand it sometimes goes the other way and you get something better or cheaper than you at first realize.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I am talking about my 2025 coins in a different thread. If I put my coins together from the entire year there are 2 coins that stand out in this regard.&nbsp; I was desperate (and coin budget poor) at Birthday time last year so I ended up with an 1854 Arrows dime i would normally not consider.&nbsp; Then again, it is a standing rule in our family.&nbsp; I get a coin for my Birthday or go without any gift.&nbsp; I&#039;ll take it and keep it.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I had something happen this year that has never happened before.&nbsp; I will sometimes place low level bids on sites such as Heritage just so I will be more aware&nbsp; of a specific coin I haven&#039;t decided on but don&#039;t want to have post auction regret.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; In this case I placed a $100 dollar bid on a coin when my intention had been to only bid $10 dollars.&nbsp; I am still baffled how this actually happened but have made changes to my bidding methods to prevent this happening again.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Guess what?&nbsp; The bid turned out to be a spot on winning bid.&nbsp; It is just about exactly what the coin is worth when all fees and factors are considered.&nbsp; I will post the actual coin in my retrospect later on but even in a details holder (I only have 2 such coins in my collection),; this is a superior coin with fantastic luster &amp; strike.&nbsp; I will talk more about my 1907-O barber dime later on.&nbsp; James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
