Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2768617, member: 10461"]OK, so I'm happy that the poll results are vindicating my "upgrade" from Coin A to Coin B, though I'm also glad that Coin A (which I also loved but let just loose of) has its admirers, too.  Both are nice.  And maybe I should've kept both, but in the interest of variety in my "Eclectic Box", I felt I didn't need two owl coins. I think I set the poll so people could change their votes... so now I ask you what would you think if I told you Coin B cost around 2.5 times as much as Coin A? I just sold Coin A for $190.  I told [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] to pay me $175 (which was very close to my cost, and giving him free shipping), but he paid me $190 anyway.  I think that's a pretty good price for that coin.  And if Aethelred ever tires of it, I'll happily buy it back any time. Coin B, on the other hand, is costing me $500.  That's full retail, from FORVM.  So it's not likely going to be any "bargain" in the "flipper's" sense, but I'm not buying it to flip it.  I'll be keeping it a while, most likely, unless some other fancy strikes me.  (With me, you never know, but I do foresee this one spending at least a few years in my collection.  It might one day give way to a nice Athenian owl... who knows.) So Coin B is presently enjoying a strong lead in the poll, but is it really worth ~$310 more than Coin A?  Yes, only I can really answer that question.  And the answer is, "yes- to me, I think so", but it's still nice to have confirmation of that in the form of a poll.  (Even if it is a silly, unscientific poll with food and nonsense options).[/QUOTE]
