Very original sunface, Hyperion. Hope the price was right.

it was one of those "purge-cause I have way too much" right now and it was outside "core". and it did result in a profit.

There were 2 or 3 coins in the purge I should have never sold, happily for me it wasn't because they were unique condition but they had that "right look" .. that coin was even nicer in hand but i Think I even purged the images I took of it so I wouldn't be tortured. unfortunately my work machine had a copy I ran across from the original auction

It works both ways. I've found over the years, that one of my biggest consolations after selling a pretty coin, is to still own ,nice professional images of it.

Besides, most of my better coins are in a safe deposit box in a bank, so these coins too I mostly enjoy them through their pictures. Wether I own them or not, doesn't make that much of a difference, and it kind of helps if one wants to liberate himself from the torture of material posessions and the endless hunt for them.

Ahh, seller's remorse. I know it all too well.

I regretted selling this one so much that I had to buy it back at a significant profit to the seller.

The more you hold on to your posessions, the more you set yourself up to disappointment.
