Post a coin you knowingly overpaid for because you fell in love with it

Payed more than even the price guide value for this treasure. A 1881 PR 65cam 3 cent nickel

Superb coin. Thank you for posting it.

I have a little issue with your premise. I have many coins that I've paid well above "Price Guide" values to obtain, but it was because I thought those coins were worthy of their price. I would also expect to be able to get above book values were I to sell them. In these cases, I don't think I overpaid for the coins.

interestingly, when I sold my Peace dollar collection, the ones that I made the most money on were, without exception, the ones I "overpaid" to obtain. Here's one of them:

I guess I share your philosophy.

I paid up for this prooflike 1823 years ago in a PCGS AU58 holder....it looked MS to me so I sent it in to CAC not long ago and it got a gold bean! Increased price....justified!

I paid about $78 over retail for this original gem and don't regret it! Bought it as soon as I saw it knowing I'll never see one like it again.

Love the look of this coin. Paid way up for it.

I paid up for this coin because it had “the look” I go after.
I also didn’t like the color of the green sticker so I had it changed!

I've "paid up" for a number of toners. Won't know if I overpaid until I sell.

Wait, I thought only TPGs were allowed to change their opinions.

Beautiful coin, by the way!

Financially embarrassed after the purchase of this one:

Still a favorite with a great provenance-Stickney, Clapp, Eliasberg, Gardner

Fell in love and overpaid many times, but never for a coin.

One of my favorite years. Bought it overseas my first enlistment. This coin has been many places with me. I am sure I paid too much.
Why my favorite year...America became America in 1783
September 3 – American Revolutionary War: Treaty of Paris – A treaty between the United States and the Kingdom of Great Britain is signed in Paris, ending the war and formally granting the United States independence from Great Britain.
