[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4300580, member: 26302"]One thing I have learned, and I am an impatient guy myself, is patience in coin collecting. It actually is part of the fun, the chase. I went about a decade looking for a silver Byzantine coin with the name Christopher on it, (my name). It was not rare, just scarce, but in ancients sometimes that can mean a long search. I finally got one, and the next month had a group lot with another in it so I bought it too, (it had been a decade). Point being, looking for that coin gave me reason to check out all Byzantine listings in auctions for years. As such, I started a collection, with a strong emphasis on Anonymous bronzes. Anyway, the HUNT is a ton of why we collect. I have bought coins I was not thrilled with just to get one, and it always gnawed at me. I believe in my heart if you were having second thoughts already you would feel the same long term. Keep the hole open, and continue the chase. Beat part of the chase is it's free and gives you an excuse to check out a ton of coins. :)[/QUOTE]
