[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 3897703, member: 83845"]Come on all, let’s not take opinions and comments personal and make this into an acrimonious thread. There is plenty of room for friendly discussion on slabs. I overpay as much as not and I don’t feel bad about it either! :smuggrin: I don’t intend to sell my coins so their resale value is meaningless to me. Sometimes I will research a coin target to the point that not winning it is extra hard to stomach. Those are the ones I end up overpaying for. Every once in a while I scoop up a deal. I love the deals and the overpriced coins all the same. Here is a coin I overpaid for big-time. Bought at a shop in the old town of Jerusalem in 2016. Every time I look at it I’m still glad I bought it. :) [ATTACH=full]1027629[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Roman Empire Constantine II as Caesar (AD 317 - 337) AE Follis, Siscia mint, struck ca.
