1853 California $1 Octagonal Fractiona Gold Thoughts

Thank you all. Again.

I come at this from a collector/reseller perspective. Most of my coin buys in Italy have come from money earned reselling items that I have found and sold either in Italy or the u.s.

After handing a fair amount of antiques, I understand that there is always a time that things move along. I try to buy coins with this strategy in mind. By fair/low, enjoy, collect, etc. with the idea that some day I'd like to get what I paid or more out of the items. And, of course, there is always a risk of loss with some.

I only started collecting coins when I started finding undervalued coins at used markets around Rome while looking for other items.

Just thinking out loud.

@panzaldi, the last sentence of your post is about where I am with it. I doubt it will sell very quickly and the seller is likely agreeable to negotiate, but I'll see. I am out of Rome for much of next week, so I will consider it a bit more.

Thanks for your reply.
