If I were to buy a coin ( any coin ) and I paid a fair price according to grade, is that not a good deal? If I purchased a coin ( any coin ) and it was a fully graded 66, meaning close enough to be a 67 and all I paid was 66 money, is that not a good deal ? All experienced and knowledgeable collectors, before placing that final bid, have made that decision, "their getting a good deal" as it meets or exceeds their desire or need. Let me also say that sometimes those "good deals" don't actually payoff in terms of return on investment. More likely than not, they don't. But they are a nice asset to have in times of great financial need. I had a fairly diverse and extensive collection of Seated & Barber issues. Well I fell Ill and greatly needed to have more money than what I had readily available. I was up against it and had to sell. Now I did not have to sell the entire collection, but it broke my heart so, it was all or nothing at all. Since than, I have started re-building a collection. I have fun, and I always get a good deal, in my mind.[/QUOTE]
