<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2481484, member: 76111&quot;]In honor of Mr. Dorney&#039;s thread on vacation regrets, I&#039;m starting one to showcase regrets that have been righted, coins that have been reunited, and generally successes turned out of defeats in coin our collecting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just bought this coin from Harlan Berk&#039;s new bid or buy sale.&nbsp; It came from the NAC auction in May that included the better portion of E.E. Claim-Stefanelli&#039;s collection of Roman Republican coins.&nbsp; I had a target list of bids in that auction which included this coin, but due to some miscommunication and misunderstanding on my end I ended up not bidding on it.&nbsp; I was crestfallen.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>When I saw this coin in the Berk BBS, I fell over myself getting to a computer, getting it in the basket, updating my outdated shipping info and old credit card...making sure I wasn&#039;t going to lose it again to some opportunist. It was modestly marked up from the hammer at NAC and I&#039;m so happy to get a second chance! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t received it, but I don&#039;t buy into superstition about posting early, so here it goes LOUD AND PROUD!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>L.
