[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25330525, member: 10461"]This is my single most expensive coin. I simply [B][I]had[/I][/B] to have it, had to fight very hard for it at auction, and grossly overpaid for it. Now I’m likely “buried in it” for life, and my heirs may never recoup my full investment in it. But oh well. I get to enjoy owning it. “[I]Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten[/I]”, um… right? ;) NGC priceguide lists it for $2,250 in VF20. This is a VF[B]30[/B], but I’m in it for $3,867.50. :nailbiting: (I note that it leaps to $4,550 in XF40, though, so…?) Sometimes I question my own sanity (that’s a TON of money on my salary). But then I admire the coin and shrug. [ATTACH=full]1619757[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1619758[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1619759[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
