    Somehow in my mind, I don't think of buying coins as "spending money", just trading one form of money for another. Only when I buy stuff like camcorders and computers do I spend the time thinking about it.

    That's the only way I can figure why I wouldn't hesitate to spend $1000+ to buy a single coin but I'd sit there for ages thinking about a $300 camcorder or a $500 computer.

    Does it really matter?

    Well, if it were my wife's car, she'd want the $400. If I took it and spent it on a nickel...LOOK OUT, fryin' pans be a flyin'.

    I agree, you saved her life. Buy yourself another coin as a reward.

    " Did you put the $400 toward the Buffalo nickel?"

    No, I put it towards a 2001 Toyota Seinna Minivan for her "

    You, sir, are the exact opposite of insane. Whatever that may be.image

    Given that you got $400 for a car in that condition it would appear that you found a Coin Vault shopper to sell it to!

    You did really well, Where I'm from you only get a Jefferson Nickel for an old can.

    I know where there's a 90 Corolla Wagon with over 300k on it ~ lumps all over the thing, missing two hubcaps, a mirror, and a motor mount or two ~ real cheap image
  • mozeppamozeppa Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭
    how many miles on the nickel?
  • StuartStuart Posts: 9,761 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Shamika: Did the nickel come with a "New Coin Warranty" good for either 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first ?? image

    Your situation seems quite reasonable to mine...check this...I just purchased
    a Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS LT with 3-tone Sunburst finish and
    maple neck (a dream of a guitar), telling myself that I would sell a coin to cover
    the cost of it! image

    Now that I have it in hand, though, I'm thinking I don't really want to part with
    any coins! image
