If I sell a coin for any reason, I want the most back I can get but I don't really care if I lose hundreds (or in some cases, thousands) of dollars on the resale of a coin. I don't view it as a "loss". Just like I wouldn't view airplane tickets or a new set of golf clubs or lift tickets or etc etc as a loss.
At least with coins, you can take a capital loss on your income tax returns.
In the coin game, yes, I'm fairly young I suppose... In my forties. And either fortunately or unfortunately I have plenty of capital losses to roll forward for many years without needing to involve my coin collection at all.
That's the advantage of youth. Wish I still had it.

I just checked GC's auction archives. Back in October 2021 there was a PCGS MS64 CAC 1881-S $1 that brought over $10,000(!!) including commission, obviously due to the color (all green).
Yes, that’s this one:
I own it now.
More like nuclear turquoise.
Glad they chose not to label it "The Green Goblin" villian of Spiderman comic lore.

Sometimes that is a good thing,for the sellers.
