But patience almost always pays off handsomely ! An excellent purchase which I am sure you will long cherish. With so many thousands of coins coming up everyday I always advise caution. Better to let some go and find the one which the competition just doesn't bother to show up for the close. I bid on many coins ...... And win but a few. But those few tend to be ones I am very very happy with. Especially when I feel like a thief in the night ! Report this Post to the Staff
