What an incredible waste of money!

Name a coin in your collection that is not a good use of your limited numismatic capital, and tell us why you still own it.

I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

Bought them to fill the proof spots in my Kennedy set when I was a a lot younger. Total waste of money. I have no interest in Kennedy halves anymore. The proofs are impossible to sell.
I also have a few pretty nasty AT Franklins & morgan pieces from the beginings of my toned coin collections.
I still have them because I'm too lazy to sell them.

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.

Why not?
You can sell them on Ebay. You just can't mention the grade or the grading company.
Take good pictures of the slab, and some goof ball will bid.

I'm buried in the coin. Bought in an old NGC 65RB holder:
Sent to PCGS in the holder as cross at same, PCGS said 64RB. I felt the coin was a 65RB so I cracked it out and sent in raw. Came back in a BB as seen above. It's a date I need in my Registry Set of colorful lincolns so I continue try and get it in a PCGS holder. One of my failures in the crossover and crackout game.

Can you be more specific? Did you overpay for it?

Ditto, only with a '16D Lincoln, NGC 65RD I paid $2500 for! PCGS said "DNC, should be 64RD". I and my dealer friends disagreed. Cracked-out, now in a body bag for questionable color. Now THAT is a tough, expensive lesson!

I'm aware of the rules, but gave up selling on eBay a year and a half ago. Maybe I'll try the BST again, but the silence was deafening last time I tried.

Most of mine are darkside. And if you think there's a lot of cleaned junk in US 90% silver bags, try South American 90% silver bags (which usually have some 50% silver thrown in just to !@#$ ya too.) But every now and then it works out OK anyways.
