Now I REALLY hate going to the dentist

Last night, I asked the folks at David Lawrence to post a picture of a coin for me, an 1865 Seated quarter graded NGC AU-58. I get home two hours ago, looked at it, loved it -- but had to run to a dentist appointment. Race back home, and it's been sold. Hope I can find a comparable piece elsewhere; I loved the look of this one. This is where the mantra of being patient is a trying thing.
The one saving grace is that this coin is probably $200 more than a standard "type coin" would be in this grade. But I'm not sure I've ever seen a seated quarter in this grade that I liked this much, so it's a hollow consolation...

Well, HERE's one.
Back in 1981, a guy KEPT calling me about his type set. He wanted to sell it. All scaredy cat. Wanted to know if I could AFFORD it. Did I have CASH at the shop? Did he have to give his NAME? Did he need an APPOINTMENT?
Day after day after day after day............aaaarrrrgggghhh
UNTIL the day I had a dental appointment and he bopped in with a COMPLETE type set. Wife tried to put him at ease until I got back in a whole HOUR! Too nervous.....hadda go.....hurry hurry hurry.
So he bopped to my competitor and GAVE it away. And guess who called me to tell me? Grrrrrrrr......
I figure I had a $75,000 dental appointment that day.
Yes, the small eagle bust half was there.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr........
OW!!
