<p>[QUOTE=&quot;debordj, post: 2023641, member: 23344&quot;]I&#039;ve had 2 that come to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting (other than the coins my grandpa gave me) was about 2 years after the westward journey series.&nbsp; I fell in love with it and tried to start collecting the entire serious in PCGS in the highest grade I could afford.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t afford the top but close to it.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know enough and took the PCGS price guide as gospel and overpaid quite a bit.&nbsp; I just sold my last one about 4 months ago for a $50 loss.&nbsp; Overall I lost a couple of hundred.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other one was my first Long Beach show.&nbsp; I fell in love with the 1918 Lincoln Commemorative and had to have it.&nbsp; I thought I knew what I was doing and sent it to NGC to get graded - improperly cleaned!&nbsp; Overpaid on the coin and then lost the grading money.&nbsp; I cracked it out and put it in my 7070.&nbsp; Dumb.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a mistake I made yet, but have been putting together birth year sets for my son in graded NGC.&nbsp; Finally had some money a few months back to buy the gold and bought the 2002 $5 Olympic MS70 coin instead of the $10 gold bullion I was looking at.&nbsp; Dang 1/4 ounce bullion doubled in price in 2 months for some reason per the last NGC email update!&nbsp; I made the wrong choice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
