<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2838849, member: 19463&quot;]&#039;Overpaid?&#039; is always a matter of opinion.&nbsp; I have two similar coins but yours is in better condition.&nbsp; None of the three have good surfaces.&nbsp; Mine were $30 from a dealer in the early 1990&#039;s that I now feel was overpriced for most coins I got from his nice lists&nbsp; He is no longer in business as far as I know.. I now regret that purchase.&nbsp; The second was $6 from a Baltimore show dealer 15 years ago.&nbsp; I have received $6 worth of enjoyment from owning that one so I do not regret buying it.&nbsp; I believe that none of the three would show a profit were we to offer them for sale to our friends here on CT after we allow for the costs of commissions, PayPal etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; Demand for common Provincials in less than spectacular shape is not high.&nbsp; Of the three, IMHO, most overpaid was mine from the 1990&#039;s since I was paying in old time dollars and buying the worst of the three coins.&nbsp; I wanted a Diadumenian so I did something I would not do now.&nbsp; The left facer was $6 and, after all, a left facer so I feel less grief about that decision.&nbsp; Whether you overpaid or not depends on how you feel about the matter in a few years and how much enjoyment you get from the coin in the meanwhile. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]671176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]671177[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
