<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 1944694, member: 12718&quot;]Following up TomB&#039;s advice and in response to your quandary, another alternative is to defer gratification.&nbsp; Save more money until you can afford the right coin.&nbsp; Usually, the &quot;right&quot; coin will still be available (especially the previously identified proof coins) and you can then buy it without worrying about your budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve learned this the hard way as many collectors do.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been a price buyer before and later been dissatisfied, leading me to get rid of the coin (often losing money), and had I just been more patient, then I would have been happier with my acquisition.&nbsp; Of course, I&#039;ve also made rash purchases too (poor quality) where I didn&#039;t understand what I was buying and suffered the same mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is part of learning, but it can get expensive and I think the advice you&#039;re getting from some of us is so you can perhaps avoid this curve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
