Posted last night about a Sacagawea in a Lucite ball from the US Mint. Today another poster adds to that post with a cut and paste from a US Mint 2000 catalog and I see that there is a 2000 Silver Eagle paperweight.
So I want one. I searched deep on Google and found somebody who had one.
Then the same poster adds to the thread with a link to one that is on ebay. This is amazing to me because I had done a search on ebay before finding the one I bought. I turned up zero on ebay.
So I bid on the thing. I've no idea why. None whatsoever. My first bid is actually an outbid so I jam it up a couple dollars. Still I have no explanation whatsoever for why I did this.
I'm the head honcho in the auction with about 3 hours and change left. My bid has less than a dollar of headspace and I just know that it'll get sniped and I'm happy to lose this auction because I temporarily lost my mind and, hey, I've got one coming anyway.
Just got the email. I won. Now I have two. What the heck is wrong with me?

Hoard the keys.
I did that, once.
With PCGS MS63 $10 Indians, of all things. I ended up winning two.
On MY budget, that can be rather frightening. Actually, that was one of those rare times when I could actually afford to cover both bids (otherwise I wouldn't have made them).
What I ended up doing was choosing the one I wanted to keep (via the pictures, before either was shipped), and then I contacted the seller of the other one and offered to pay him a $10-15 restock fee if he would excuse me from my bid. He did, and was nice about it. I payed his restock fee gladly.
