<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1602249, member: 36864&quot;]If I can pay for it without breaking the bank and the coin is worth more than the asking/auction price, the coin is not too expensive.&nbsp; I have told the story before, but it really applies here.&nbsp; I was bidding on a 1794 Flowing Hair dollar at the FUN show a few years ago and the price was upwards of $80K.&nbsp; I had placed the value between $130 and $140K, so to me, if I could get it under $100, it would have been a good buy.&nbsp; I was going for it back and fourth with a very well respected dealer with MUCH deeper pockets than mine when my wife (now-x) walks on to the floor just in time to see me raise my hand on a bid of $83K.&nbsp; She was not happy to say the least, and suddenly the coin was too expensive even though the price had not gone up.&nbsp; The dealer got the bargain of a lifetime and went home with the coin for $88K plus the juice.&nbsp; He felt the need to rub it in a bit by sending flowers to my wifes work everyday for a week.&nbsp; I&#039;ll get him back one day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
