That being to fast on the trigger.

Well Friends,

Today I bought a BIN coin on Ebay without paying enough attention to the coin. I had done my search for 1922 S Peace NGC and then set it for BIN coins only. Lo and behold a nice example shows up in AU58 for, what I thought, was a fair price. Since I was spending the last of my birthday money, I was feeling kind of excited and anxious.

So, as soon as I bought the Dollar, I realized it was a 1922P in AU58 condition not S. Here is how it happened. The coin description was as follows:

"1922 Peace Dollar S$1 NGC AU58 EdgeView Holder!"

So the S in my search was the S inserted in front of the $ sign. Since I was in such a hurry, I paid no attention and bought the coin on the spot without ever truly examining the slab.

WHAT A BONEHEAD MISTAKE.

Now my nicely priced 22-S is instead a market value priced 22-P. OH well, I am sure this less on will keep me straight for awhile, But my natural impulsiveness will probably cause the same problem, as it has in the past, again.

Later,

Malcolm
