<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 190051, member: 6763&quot;]This weekend I had the chance to get an 1885 V-Nickel, that was almost Fine, it was missing the I in Liberty.</p><p>The seller wanted Fine money, and yes it is a very scarce coin, I haven&#039;t seen one in ages, but........</p><p>I let it go.</p><p>Vg bid was = $475</p><p>Fine bid= $650</p><p>&nbsp;He wanted the $650, and I was willing to go over ask in VG (ask= $515), say to about $575, that was at the midpoint between ask (VG) and bid for fine.</p><p>&nbsp;I may be sorry, but he was firm with his price. </p><p>The coin looked original, there was only one point of hesitation, there was a &#039;bubble&#039; mark in the field to the right of the date, which made me nervous, but I could have had it slabbed, and then returned it if it was NG.</p><p>&nbsp;Still, I don&#039;t have one, and it would have looked nice.......</p><p>&nbsp; I regret many deals, the 1901 S, quarter, G-6 at $3,000 (when VG was = $3,000) and it was just too high.</p><p>&nbsp; The 1896 S quarter in good at $200 (bid), but it would have been a duplicate at the time.</p><p>&nbsp; The 1895 O dime in full good +, at bid, but (again) it would have been a duplicate.</p><p>the time I could have gotten 3 1916 D dimes in AG for $525.00, but I didn&#039;t have the cash, or the guts.</p><p>And many more, but, there will always be another deal, another chance, and another missed opporunity. And I regret them all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
