Yup. Put the money away and keep looking. Eventually something nice will come along.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
I am lucky enough to not be in the quality level of collecting that given funds I could not find a coin to spend them on. I am constantly short of funds, but never of quality coins to purchase especially in the less than $100 market. I could never afford a $10k coin regardless of the number available. I think their are many more low value but quality coins available now than since I can remember. I guess it has something to do with the times and low quality coins now going for melt, even uncirculated silver coins. My local dealer claims to have turned in several rolls of BU dimes(including one mercury dime roll--GOD FORBID!!) for melt. I told him Call Me first from now on. Hopefully he will if he wasn't just BSing, which he not usually a BSer. Jim

My biggest problem has always been finding material that meets my personal standards/taste. Another would be I'd find the material that fits my standards/taste and they just want WAY to much as far as a premium. Can you believe I recently found a real sweet 58 D Franklin in an NGC 66*FBL at a local dealer and he wanted $2200 for it lol. I thought his asking price was just ridiculous. I would of paid $700 and IMO that is stupid money for a 66fbl 58 D as those come super nice.
I have walked into shows on a number of occasions with the funds available to write a check for nice AU Bust Dollar or no problem MS 65 PC Capped Bust Half, only to walk the floor of the show and buy nothing. To me buying a coin is a lot like buying a suit. The price and continuum of the coin in the grade I seek must fit, or I don't buy it.

However, usually when this occurs, I look for a different kind of coin and then wonder WTH I was thinking!

That's why after I buy something I try to stop looking for a while!

Yes.

You are sooo right! Picked up an 1881S Morgan PCGS MS67 and a PCGS PR70 1995W $5 gold Torch Runner in the past week dirt cheap.
