<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 25399210, member: 89798"]I'm sorry you feel that way, I don't. Did I have to pay too much for the coin, yes. But, I could not find one in any better condition, at a lower price, at the time. I was ready to buy one, and that's the best I could find that fell within my guidelines. I looked last night, admittedly in a hurry, but couldn't find one any cheaper, unless it was in horrible condition. While mine leaves a lot to be desired, it's in considerably better condition than any I saw last night, below $500. Should I have waited for a better one, not to my criteria for buying one. Like I had said, I'm different in my approach. This is just a hobby to me, not an investment. I'm in it for the fun I get out of it. If I played golf, which I don't, it would cost me every time I played. And, I would only have the memory of the experience when the game was over (I'm not attacking people that play golf, I thrilled they get to, and enjoy it). Would I like to have one in better condition, yes, but I'm not hung up on that. I wanted one for less that $500, and I found one. Not a "great" one, but one that you don't have to use all of your imagination to tell what it is. I've just got one with a lot of "history". And, I love history. I certainly respect, and agree with, your statement, in that I paid to much for it, as far as a monetary value goes. However, for me, I'm ok with it. Will I buy another one in that condition, at that price, no. I now have one. Blessings, Kenneth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
