How much do you plan to spend in 2008 on your collection?

i'm guessing $400-$500.

 

Hard to set a budget, does this include gas to & fro?

 

I really have no idea. For the past few years my income has been on the up so if that keeps on keeping on I hope to buy some nice coins. Of course there is always putting back for retirement, house, etc.

probably 700. I spent like 150 dollars this year so may by cause i was a hockey card collector back then for about 3 quarters of the year.

 

most likely I will spend somewhere around 500 dollars next year, but hopefully... I will be able to spend even more!

 

Absolutely no idea. I don't have a coin budget. If I see something that I like and it's within my means I'll buy it.

I will be doing less and less of my hotsauce and more and more of my coins....thus the high amount. Not all will be keepers thos.

 

Three coins to go in my type set, and these are going to cost me some bucks not sure how much in 2008 I do plan on getting a lot of gray side coins also

 

Answered 301-750, but for an unemployed student, who knows!? :goof:

Hoping to spend about $300 to $500, get my lincoln cent set knocked out. But who knows, family might win the lottery next year. I'll spend what I can if different circumstances permit.

Probably somewhere between $500 and $700, but it depends on how much I make and what else I spend it on.

 

If things are anything like 2007 I'll be buying alot more. I plan on buying more older gold coins and completing at least 3 of my sets so I voted 1501-10000, which isnt hard to do..IMO.

 

ill be in the majority group (as of this writing anyway) the 301-750.. although, it will most likely be on the lower end. Times are tough, and i just dont get the xmas and birthday money i used to

 

Hard for me to predict how the year is going to go. I'm thinking 800-900 though.

 

I don't really follow a budget for buying coins, so it just depends on what I like and whether or not I decide to buy or not. I average about 200-300 a month, and some months I don't buy anything. 300 a month makes my wife cringe, but when she takes into account I don't blow money on gambling, booze, dirtbikes and boats, like a lot of our friends, she doesn't complain too much. And, in a few more years when the kids are through college, I'll get to have more hobby money. Can't wait!

I never really have a budget as it were. What I want (NEED) if the funds are available.

My wife just got back to work after 8 months so that didn't help. Still, I'm usually good for $3-5000 every year.

The most I've ever spent on a car was $2500 so you see where my priorities are.

 

about the 1000+ range because i want to go back and collect the proof platnum $10 coins because their so beautiful

 

i really think some people just flat out lied onthe poll ... come on .. $50,000 people.. IN A YEAR?
