    How many plasters of accepted coin designs exist in private hands? Okay, this one was accepted and then unaccepted, but even so!

    Never regretted for a moment. As someone who did a lot of sculpting, it's amazing to hold this art.

    Yes, yes, and YES. It's beautiful. A rare work of art. I'm glad you own it.

    My icon coin, shown it here before. Thought I might be buried, but I've has some offers for just over what I paid. Still no regrets, sort of wished I got the almost matching 1818/7 in the same auction.

    There is no coin that I'm unwilling to be outbid on.

    While I like what I have won, I have never regretted being the underbidder.

    I WAY OVER PAID for this 1855-D gold dollar. One of our members bought one years ago that is much nicer for far less money. Yet the few coins that have been offered to me for less money, have always had some sort of an issue that made them undesirable. This piece is well struck with original surfaces and no defects. The grade is EF-45. I think that it is an AU-50.

    I don't like the fact that I am buried into this piece financially, but I still like and enjoy the coin.


    i like :)

    Quite often after I have been the underbidder in auction, I often forget about the piece. For many American coins, there are multiple opportunities to buy them.

    The pieces that I remember most are the ones I should have bought via private treaty. There have been a few items that I passed on buying that I have never seen offered again, either in a similar state of preservation or in one case, never to be seen offered again in any form in more than twenty years.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    @CharlotteDude i love that coin. i think i told you before that i bid on that one, but dropped out early. i had a feeling it was going to be a battle for such a nice example.

    i'm glad you got her in your stable. she's in good company.

    There are a couple of coins that I refused to be outbid on only to find out that someone else REALLY refused to be outbid. Everything has a limit.

    You were probably the winner then.
