I have been working on getting all graded Native American dollars from 2009 till present. I have everyone except 2012, I have found all the others at great values, but the 2012 seems to be really overpriced everywhere I look. Would you overpay for a coin to bring your collection update or just keep hunting? |

If the 2012 is overpriced in your book everywhere you look, maybe it's not overpriced?

No, I just wait and keep searching, after all waiting is much part of the fun of collecting coins as searching or buying.

Yea, if the choices for the coins in my collection are underpay (free), face value and overpay, then I have over paid 98% of the time. None of the 2012 dollars in proof come cheap because all of the sets that contained the dollars were short sold catching a ton of people by surprise. It might come down like the 1999 silver quarter proofs someday, today is not that day.

Yes, even being diligent and patient, sometimes you have to pay a high premium for something you want.

Yes I have overpaid to complete old series but not in modern ones. But if you believe that to update your series will make you feel happy buy it. |

To tell the truth, I overpay on almost anything I have to buy; instead of finding in pocket change. I don't have much (if any) spending money for my hobby searching so I'm very content in getting lower end coins as long as they are at least above "junk" condition. This being said, I still have trouble finding many coins at "average" cost levels, and send many sellers more profits than expenses.
The main thing for you to decide is how badly (or quickly) do you need your coin. Waiting a longer time can sometimes bring down average costs; but also can raise then up too.
Good luck which ever way you decide!

GR58, I am putting together a set of graded "S" proof Native American dollars. All of them are PF 69, so I am looking for graded PF 69 2012 to bring it up to date. I will post pics when I complete it! |

Done it. If I really like a coin and know there is competition, no problem.

Yes, I have overpaid for a coin I really wanted, and will probably do it again!

Normally no. However, there have been times when I purchased a coin for a price that I later found I could have got for much less. And that usually has happened at a large coin show since I'm not sure if I could find another on like the one I just purchased and if I keep on looking and don't find one for less. Then walking around, poof there are many more all over the place. What really gets me is looking for a certain coin for a decent price and dealers keep saying things like you'll find those all over the place. Never do though. One collection now has me stomped. I'm trying to make a complete all FSB Mercury dime Album and those last 6 will cost me a fortune. For those, yew I will pay more. |
