<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverlock, post: 7927742, member: 98181&quot;]Would thirteen attempts to buy “just the right” owl count? </p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted one to carry with me in a leather pouch on my keychain to share with others. It had to be in poor enough condition that additional handling wouldn’t significantly affect it, good enough condition that when I showed it to people they didn’t go “where’s the owl again?”, and most importantly, cheap enough I could afford it. </p><p><br /></p><p>After expending my collecting budget for over a year on one failed attempt after another, I settled on the thirteenth coin as the perfect owl. Though in truth I probably would still be hunting to this day if my long-suffering wife, tired of hearing how my latest purchase failed to meet some trivial aspect of my exacting specifications, hadn’t forbidden my purchasing any more owls. So now I’m sitting on hoard of a dozen poor condition owls that I neither wanted nor needed that total more than the cost of an FDC. </p><p><br /></p><p>And people wonder why I rarely buy coins anymore…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
