Neither of these came at a price that looks very advantageous today, but they are two of my favorite coins.
I have a bunch of worthless slabbed Prez dollars that I know I paid too much for. Lol

Definitely paid too much for this 1923-S Buffalo in PCGS MS63. And I don't care!
Another gorgeous coin. Thanks for sharing.
Where do I start?

Hashtag for the win
Hashtag, I don't think I even knew that issue existed until now. I've never seen one, ever. Wow.
"Show me a coin or two you paid "too much" (thanks to topstuf) for"
So you want to see my whole collection?
I paid 40% over price guide. I don't regret it (yet).

I would love to show you but I can't run the risk that my wife will see my post.
This one is in an old white ANACS holder PF66.
Paid more than double what pcgs price guide is for a 66, which is more than 3x what they go for at auction. Not one single regret. Haven’t seen a proof war nickel with toning this nice before or since the purchase.
My “too much” is likely different than your “too much”. So subjective!
With the decline in coin values over the last few years, I’d say most of my collection!
An 1855-D gold dollar …
Positives:
• A rare coin from a “romantic” mint, mintage 1,811 with perhaps 85 survivors.
• Super shrike, better on the reverse than any Philadelphia Type II Gold Dollar I’ve seen
• Original uncleaned, surfaces
• Graded EF-45, but really an AU-50 in my opinion
Negative:
I paid WAY too much.
Bill,
I love that 1855-D and agree with all your positives!
This is one I paid up for:
MISSED the crap in the field.

I really like your 1871 gold dollar, @liefgold.
Good point @topstuf
There are two ways to overpay:
There's a lot of nice coins here, but I'm also wondering how many of these coins have been overpaid to the point of being buried?
@HashTag not a bad coin to overpay for!

I was "buried" on the 01-S for about a decade, but I didn't care since I liked the coin so much. When it was time to let it go, pcgs helped me "unburied" it.
I am buried in the piece I posted. Of course the only 1855-D gold dollars that were offered to me on the bourse floor were problem pieces with issues like cleaning and a lamination on the obverse ... and still priced well into the 5 figures. Go figure.
Good to know @KollectorKing and @BillJones. Sometimes a piece just calls out to you. Glad to hear PCGS was able to unbury KK's piece.
This one, but so worth it!
