With all due respect to Shnug I recall my newer collector enthusiasm for any and all coins and truly appreciate the excitement of 'discovery'.
That said ... from a financial perspective the trade was likely a loss ... but that is not the method that we should be measuring enjoyment from this great hobby.
Most of us are not in this for financial gain ... and I readily admit that I have on multiple occasions paid well over retail for a tremendous coin that meets my collecting needs.
I'm pleased newcomers to the hobby such as Shnug continue to post here ... and that Shnug continues to gain knowledge from the wise and experienced collectors who make the CCF what it is.
