<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 190034, member: 7248&quot;]for those collectors of any given series...non-hypothetical question. you have a chance&nbsp; to buy a coin in an auction. it is normally not well struck but this piece is. it is in a grade of ms64 and fits all criteria for that grade. this is a very nice coin for that grade but is certainly not a crackout coin or a rare variety. but it IS pretty and one of the nicest strikes you&#039;ve seen. however this is not a series that counts steps or other associated with exceptional premiums. the coin is also a common date or at best a semi scarce but, once again, nice strike..i mean...NICE strike. now we get to price...the previous lot has the same&nbsp; date and grade it has not yet made numis wholesale price...but , the coin you want...you say &quot; aha, its mine, i&#039;ll bid 2x whlse...there&#039;s no interest here &quot; well, almost. . someone else has a good eye and now you are outbid again. you take it to 2.5x and looking thru records reveals you have bid&nbsp; the highest price in at least 3 yrs and lots of coins. next bid goes to 3x whlse. how far do you go? there are 70 coins you need to complete your set so plenty of others to buy. always someone out there happy to take your money and these appear in auctions often in this grade...my decision was to let the coin fly and bid another day, hoping to find another similar, which have appeared before ,and to try to get it at a better price. how many others have had this similar experience?&nbsp; any non buyers or buyers remorse?&nbsp; i enjoy hearing how others approach the acquisition of the coins they love...thank you all for your time...steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
