Boy do I get irritated when I miss getting a coin that I want ...

How do the rest of you feel? When I miss getting a coin that would upgrade my registry set, I get downright grumpy. Or, at least that's what they tell me at work. I had a couple of threads out about the 1938 Pr67Cam Jeff and a 1962 Franklin Pr69Dcam. I have a feeling the Jeff went for a lot less money than the BIN price at Heritiage. Although not an upgrade in points, I would have liked to have another cameo. When I called to check the coin had just sold.

I saw the Franklin on Ebay in May listed at a very high reserve. The auction got no bids. I sent a note to the seller to see if they would accept an offer. They were moving shop when I called and couldn't locate the coin. I thought the coin must have been sold when they didn't call back. On a lark, I called this week to see if the coin was there. It sold 2 hours before I called.

I need a coin fix.

I think some dealers play the "oh, I just sold that coin" game. I ran into a dealer at a show about two years ago. He had a whole bunch of 1921 P & D certified dimes. He only had goods and about goods. He told me he had just sold all the higher quality one to a dealer "over there." A year later when I ran into him again it was a complete de jevu! The same story. Maybe that what is happening to you.

It's all a function of money, Badger.

Just like I'm coming up behind you in the registry, or anyone else for that matter.
