fyimo Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 5:15 pm The art of a deal is if both parties leave happy so if you are happy I'd say it's a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 5:25 pm That is a good way of looking at it. Sometimes I feel like I got too great of a deal, but if the other party is happy, then I guess it works out well ;) Thank you for your opinion! Report this Post to the Staff

twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 7:38 pm Thank you! I forgot I did spend $15 also, so add that to the 1883-O... so I hope that is still fair. I had fun either way, and have many more coins than one to look at. Gave one of the 1980 Proof sets to me son and he seems to enjoy it even at his very young collecting age.

jjwabraham Valued Member United States 288 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 7:43 pm I think you did well even if you had retail money into all of your trades. What makes it sweeter is if you had some as a result of another deal and/or didn't care about them. I find doing trades more exciting than straight out cash for merchandise.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 8:40 pm Sounds like a wonderful exchange. The Buffs in particular are wonderful items. Getting your son involved is a super bonus. Report this Post to the Staff
twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/16/2016 8:41 pm Thanks all for the opinions! My son is only 3 1/2, but I give him coins all the time, and he does seem to enjoy them a lot. He has modern proof coins, but this is his first proof set. We will see how things turn out before he gets more valuable items ;) Report this Post to the Staff
