Post a picture of a coin that you know you paid too much for... and you just don't care

I should put a pic of every coin in my collection then? Well, these two probably.

This one. I love it. It's 'too dark'. The Japanese market wouldn't like it. I spent a crapton (my standards) on it because I happened to have the 'fun money' at the time and the wonderful person who sold it to me had some lovely, lovely coins I wanted. This was one of them.

Logically I don't think it was 'worth it', but in hand it's just so pretty. It's in a PCGS slab obviously and out of curiosity I sent it to NGC. DNC which DNS (did not surprise). No one will ever pay what I paid.

I've seen a couple similarly toned ones in NGC slabs and was too chicken to price them out. It would depress me. That said, this is also a 'no border' version so is generally a bit more costly anyway so maybe the NGC ones (a 64 and 65 IIRC) would be 'less' and I could console myself that way. NGC does not do the variants nearly as well as PCGS.

Kind of glad it didn't cross (I didn't really need it for my set over there and I can put this in a custom set in this slab anyway if I wanted to...someday I will tweak my Japan Type set over there with the better coins but not until they get their formatting figured out, but I digress).

I really aught to make a video of this one. Here are some 'tilted' shots I nabbed. Absolutely zero editing done, just dropped the jpg right into the collage maker. The lighting is one of the GE daylight bulbs with camera settings to correlate. This is in pretty much in hand.
