That is what I mean when I say that you have to establish relationships with trusted and respected dealers, many of them. You let the dealers do the work for you. They will see and run across a thousand times as many coins at you yourself will ever see. They find the deals for you - that&#039;s their job ! Certainly you keep looking, you keep studying. But you also have to practice patience, they <u>will</u> find what you want at a price you can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for over-paying, we are all guilty of that. It&#039;s merely a matter of degree. But when you find that coin the speaks to you, that you hear yourself saying WOW ! when you see it. You buy that coin even if it is over-priced. You just don&#039;t want to be stupid about it and pay stupid money. As I said, a matter of degree. And that degree will vary with what you can afford.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take your ASE. Pretty much any ASE in 66 is worth what - melt ? About $30 - and you paid $225. So you paid 7x for the color. Could you afford it ? Apparently so. Was it worth it ? Apparently it was to you. And when it comes right down to it, that&#039;s all that matters. You bought the coin because of the joy it gives you, because you like it, love it even. I can think of no better reason to buy a coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But would you have paid $2000 for it ? I doubt it. You see, even when you love a coin you have your limits. That love is only worth so much. Keep that in mind and you&#039;ll do OK <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
