[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2644421, member: 13307"]I absolutely appreciate the compliment. I do my best to be as fair as I can possibly be, while still recognizing that it's okay for me to find hidden treasure because I've done the work. And yes, sometimes...it IS work! I think I looked through about 15,000 listings that weekend...so yes, very tiresome. But the reward was worth it. Of course, my biggest conundrum has been (and will continue to be) this: I collect Jefferson Nickels. Each of the three examples posted above would be massive upgrades to the 1939 DDR I already had in my collection. I could never afford to buy a high grade example like this outright, and I'll probably never come across a deal like this again for this particular variety... So I want to keep it. BUT the realist in me says SELL IT AND USE THE MONEY TO BUY MORE COINS. But the collector in me says, "If you can't keep some of the best coins you got at outrageously great prices, what's the point?" So, I'll probably end up selling the lesser two and keeping the best one...depending on the submission results. Also depending on which side of me wins the argument...lol[/QUOTE]
