<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 981968, member: 16060&quot;]I have this problem on occasions, I wonder if anyone else does especially those that have been collecting as long as I have.&nbsp; That amount of time equates to eleven years now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway here it is.&nbsp; I was contemplating purchasing an 1845 Braided Hair Cent.&nbsp; I graded it as an AU 50 to say 53.&nbsp; Accorking to Numismedia the price I could get it for was an outstanding price.&nbsp; Then I looked at some pictures of these in MS, nice and brown in color, and expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I kicked around should I wait save some more money and get a &quot;better&quot; coin or go ahead and buy this.&nbsp; Then I thought about these things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Although I have no intention of ever selling this coin is worth at least double on&nbsp; a bad day more than it would cost me.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I will be the owner of a coin that few people have heard of, few people have ever seen, and few people have any idea what a coin like this is worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Thanks to #2 it got me feeling very fortunate and lucky I ever started this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Thanks to #3 it got me to remember someone will always have bigger/better home, more expensive car, and more expensive coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the coin, knowing I did the right thing for many reasons. I have the coin now in my possession and could not be happier with it. Does this ever happen to any of you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
