If you dare, post a coin you paid WAY too much for, and are unlikely to ever recoup your money on…

If you have it to spend and money isn’t a problem, and coins are your thing, buy and enjoy! Me, I’m waiting to find my treasure from a coin star return slot. lol… it’s a numbers game. Buy high, sell low!

 

What's done is done. Just enjoy that beautiful coin.

 

All I can say about that coin is wow.
What man doesn't like a nice bust?

 

Here are 4 coins I have bought over the years which are probably worth less than what I paid for them.

 

Some great coins to be saddled with Eduard. James

 

Now, even after my Vaultbox purchases and reveal, I can still honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever paid WAY too much for a coin. Too much, yes, I’ve done that plenty of times, especially for toners.

 

Let’s see if I can link properly to my reveal post:

I have a few examples to share (and could come up with more if I tried but won't at this time ).

First is this Morgan that I know I won't recoup my cost as I've had no luck selling it at a loss. I was swayed by the colors on the top half plus convinced that I was getting a deal by winning the auction at over $100 less than its previous appearance. Unfortunately the bottom portion of the coin is less appealing and despite the market on toners increasing, I was the only one who valued it anywhere close to where it sold for.




On the brighter side, we have a Columbian that I really enjoy (and it rests in my box of 20). Here the colors are great throughout and the luster is solid as well. I paid around 10x of a typical AU 58 but it was worth it.

 

I lose money on EVERY coin transaction I do, but make up for it in VOLUME . . . . . .

The 3CS is, without any close runner-up,the most underrated under priced bargain out there, and because of this, in the last year or so, is receiving a substantial increase in interest.

Legend sort of started the half-disme interest a few years back, and has started subtly doing the same thing with 3CS.

Yes, yes, the gold thingys are all the rage, especially finding the bestest of the bestest. But, that will come to an end, because there are not going to be any bestest of the bestest available, and only so many collectors can seriously consider actively participating in the goldbug craze.

Again, as with your previous example(s), I do not think you have an ugly duckling, either in appearance or economically.

So......
