Mine is green.&nbsp; Should I have bid over that $810 to get that lovely specimen or just be happy with the six pieces of junk below (two are Decentius) that I paid about the same amount for in total?&nbsp; If I were to send all six to Sev for AMCC sale or to John Anthony for his little Coin Talk sales, would you folks bid the bunch of them up to that level total?&nbsp; Experience suggests not.&nbsp; None of mine are slabbed.&nbsp; Should I send them off with $300+ to correct that?&nbsp;&nbsp; None of mine are for sale so there is no need for that.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what I would do with the money if I had it in hand.&nbsp; The sales I have already consigned may be the last for a while.&nbsp; Is the hobby over for people with limited resources unless they are happy with slugs?
