<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3556744, member: 19463&quot;]This is one big point.&nbsp; In my specialty, I have few coins that were unknown for a while, then one other for a while, then two, then three.....sooner or later we catch the people who care.&nbsp; I tend not to pay <u>extra </u> but I do sometimes buy a coin for a fair price that I might not have bought at all if it were the &#039;regular&#039; one.&nbsp; I guess that means I paid 100% of the fair price and zero extra.&nbsp; If the coin is something that really, really fits your collection and you realize that you are paying too much but don&#039;t care, buy it.&nbsp; After you buy it, the value drops to what other people think it is worth.&nbsp; In the case of coins I just had to have and intend to have them strip from my cold hands, I don&#039;t care.&nbsp; The rest I leave with the seller who wants them more than I do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another matter:&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy a coin with value depending on whether you read one letter as an A or a D.&nbsp; Be sure.&nbsp; Sometimes you find that the &#039;font&#039; used by that mint and the eyes of previous students make a lot of coins confusing and the rare reading was quoted from a coin that may or may not have been all that different.&nbsp; Buy &#039;one die&#039; rarities when you feel the difference makes some difference at least to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
