What I do when trying to avoid paying too much for a must have, is move it into I would really like to have group at $XXX. As the years go by, my desire will probably keep going up, especially when none seen for years.

No Headlights

Over my many years of collecting (now Bust and Seated dollars, past high grade circulated barber halves) I have found the coins I have stretched for are in many instances the ones I do well with when selling.
