I've had buyers remorse for the last 20+ years.Not over buying a coin....instead,I bought a pack of smokes. It was the night before payday and I was down to pocket change.I found a coin in the change that was so odd I didn't known if it would even buy anything. My gut feeling told Me too show it to someone,but,I needed smokes and I figured it would only fetch a couple hundred at most...so I spent it. A day later I heard on the news that a coin,just like the one I spent,sold for fifty thousand dollars.It was a SBA reverse with a quarter dollar Washington on the front.  So If I seem overly concern about value,you know why.  Edited by Cross-eyed

Almost all of the square coins I have, were issued for circulation.
That is why I was able to get them for at little as 10 cents each from dealers' junk bins.
Cheap thrills for me in the beginning, but the last 20 or so were much harder to find in dealers' junk bins.
I am still after an Aruba 5 Florins, and an IYSH Sri Lanka 10 rupees. I would have to be very lucky to find either of those in a $10 junk bin.

Buyers remorse. That feeling I get when I buy something thinking it rare then finding out it's a fake. On another note. I love it even better when I see someone else pay fifty dollars for a ground down penny instead of myself. I'd even try and warn them but ebay don't roll that way. |

I've had it before an auction even ends. Ever place a bid on a coin you thought you wanted only to sit there looking at it on your computer screen thinking come on, some one please out bid me.

One time I bought a dateless type 2 Standing Liberty quarter, for $9. As soon as I got it, I felt it didn't fit into my collection so now it's sitting around, about to be sold on ebay |

Regret nothing. You're human. You're going to make mistakes. Embrace them, because they teach humility.  |

Err, well, I purchased a rather unattractive Morgan graded by PCGS. It's worth what I payed for it but it's just so durn ugly!. I could've bought a much better coin for the price.[[ ]] Edit: is anyone else having SERIOUS bracket issues with the [ ] smiley? Edited by Cruisinfusion

I bought a proof $1 silver Baseball HOF coin, online sight-unseen just because I wanted to see what it really looked like. Now I know. Oh well, just about $60 down the drain. |

Quote:Dave's right. Besides, there's always the greater fool on ebay.  Well I received this medal. It's big. It's pink, but it actually blends in just fine with the rest of the coins I have on that page, so all is well. I had thougt just from the image that the coin would be much smaller. It's actually silver eagle size, and it is made of aluminium not plastic. |
