[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 3111224, member: 44357"]Coins do somehow end up finding their proper home! I had a very similar scenario happen at the New York International show in January. I was walking around dealer tables and didn't see much of interest, save for one coin. I liked it a lot but wasn't quite 100% ready to bite the bullet and figured that very few collectors would be walking the floor looking for this sort of coin (as they're usually sold at auction). I came back the next morning, checkbook in hand ready to buy it but it had already sold! I was disappointed but que será, será. Fast forward a couple months and I was visiting the NAC offices in London, viewing their stock where I happened to spot the same coin. Happily, it wasn't purchased by a collector but instead by NAC: it was the one and only coin they purchased at the show (it's nice when dealers have the same tastes as you). They were able to sell it to me and now it happily rests in my collection: [ATTACH=full]789475[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
