Not sure if this was my wisest buy, but I collect Andrew Jackson Tokens and I was the last bidder on this one so there you go. Can’t find it anywhere and looks homemade. She said not sure of age it’s quarter size made from nickel. Total cost $55 ouch VERY OLD ANDREW JACKSON ID TAG TOKEN 4A51831E-6A6F-44A4-ABF9-56041F68E0C2.png

One thing I have learned Truth is that money is only a means to obtain what you like in life. $55 or $55,000 if you like it and it makes you happy, and you have the means, what you paid for it means nothing. If this thing said Rolex on it I would have bought it and probably would have paid more. That is what I like! Good on you, its a neat piece. And you never know what will happen, 8 years ago I bought a First year Rolex Daytona. We will use 30K as an example of cost. I wanted one so bad, when they were 3K I didn't have the 3K then they were 6K and I didn't have that. I saw it, it was what I wanted and my cray @$$ dropped the dollars on it and walked out of the shop kicking myself and cursing myself under my breath. WHAT KIND OF IDIOT spends that kind of money on a wrist watch? within 5 years it was 150K Then they found Paul Newmans Paul Newman Daytona the watch was nick named after him. His watch brought over 17 million freaking dollars at an auction and mine went to 300K over night. I get to tell myself I wasn't such and idiot after all. One never knows what will happen to what you buy

I’m the same. If I see something I want I just buy it. I don’t care what other people think or say. I didn’t buy it to satisfy them I did it to satisfy me. If your satisfied with what you got and what you paid then that’s all that matters. Great buy. Money well spent. Congrats

This was an auction? you couldn't have been been hurt on it. You paid a little more than the last guy and he probably had an idea of value. There are seldom two idiots over paying for something. Except maybe Barrett Jackson auto auctions. Those idiots get there jollies by getting there face on tv throwing away money!
