<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1733513, member: 19463"]I am worried. I have bought more coins this month than my usual degree of cheapness would suggest should be expected.

Of course there were a few coins in the sale that went for double what I expected (which one of you was that???). I bought three other coin (eBay) this week. Either I went bid crazy or the market softened up a bit in the last few months. Perhaps the hot weather has made people go out and buy boats rather than coins.
