Great coin and fun read, thanks. I can honestly say that I'm glad I don't buy/collect coins that I would lose sleep over, everything I can afford is replaceable which has its benefits.

After several days of consideration of your post, this may be the most rational decision that you have made for some time. You took a lot of time and really considered all aspects of it, and in the end came to the obviously correct answer. You are happy, almost giddy (lol) with your decision and would otherwise have been miserable. Life is too short to be miserable. Well done.
And I totally get your thought process, as I have been there before.
There are a handful of coins that caused me to lose sleep, until I purchased them, b/c I knew that I would have regretted it for the rest of my life had I not.
With coins such as those, you have to just step up to the plate and worry about the financial ramifications later.
Congratulations-I think you did the right thing.

Great post and what a beautiful coin. Congrats!
Dammit, I didn’t need any more inspiration. Now I gotta go buy another coin I can’t afford.
