[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1294227, member: 15019"]My condolences for your mother's passing and congratulations on the birth of your son. (never imagined I would ever say both in the same sentence to anyone). Taking all that into consideration, I don't think it's possible that you overpaid for this coin, now or ever. Sometimes it's not so much coincidence, but change of focus that makes something "pop up". Maybe you passed one of these coins on a dealer's table before but never even looked in its direction. This day was different. What we "notice" is only a small fraction of what we actually pick up with our senses. It all filters through unconscious channels... and what has significance at that time is noticed. There is just way too much stimuli out there to pay attention to everything. Chalk it up to the old "sensation vs. perception" talk.[/QUOTE]
