<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8643808, member: 24754&quot;]I know the feeling exactly. That is a very nice coin though, and after you&#039;ve admired it&#039;s appeal some number of times, the pain will be gone! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I mentioned in a different thread that I had went on a bit of a binge myself over the past month. Every once in a while, like you said, I feel like I need to cut loose and finally land some stuff! Gonna have to win one eventually right? How about now.... Bid, Bid, Bid, Bid!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the problem with this is that, while it&#039;s painful at first, you quickly get accustomed to dumping cash and lose track of yourself. Once reality starts to sink in (by looking at the bank account for instance) then it all turns around.... Stop, Stop, Stop!!</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought 23 coins over the past 5 weeks, here are some of the highlights:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cleopatra VII, 80 Drachmaes. Never thought that a coin in such poor condition would be the 3rd most expensive in my collection <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1517458[/ATTACH]</p><p>Otho, Denarius</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1517460[/ATTACH]</p><p>Pescennius Niger, Denarius</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1517461[/ATTACH]</p><p>Balbinus, [Edit] Double Denarius</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1517462[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I obviously bought the coins because I like them, but I currently have a hard time admiring them without feeling a little ashamed of my lack of self-control. I&#039;m self-imposing a &quot;No new coins&quot; limitation on myself for at least a couple of months. Once some time passes, and my bank account recovers, then I will truly be able to appreciate the load of purchases that I made recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, once I reach that point, I&#039;LL DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
