[QUOTE="Dynoking, post: 25108439, member: 81795"]Follow on with my own quote because I can't edit. I don't like to pee on anybody's coin. I was responding to your questions. Now I've gotten that out of the way there is a different way to look at this coin and its purchase. Did you over pay? Perhaps, [I]but[/I] in the world of numismatics $65 is a small price to pay for an education. Don't look at this coin with disdain and regret. Instead put in your collection/folder/album and enjoy it as a place keeper until something better comes along. What can be learned here; Post your perspective purchase for our opinions here first before a purchase. We are here to share knowledge. Use this coin as a guide on how to spot a worn, cleaned, or damaged coin. Sharpen your bidding skills. Don't get caught up in bidding wars. I find it's best to determine the market price of the coin, then determine the price [I]you[/I] want to pay for the coin. Back out any buyers premium, taxes, and shipping costs from your price. These extras add up fast and become the ultimate price you paid for the coin. Enter your maximum bid and [B]don't look back.[/B] Decline to be notified that you have been out bid.
