<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1816242, member: 56859&quot;]Hard to say with my purchase history.&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought several large lots-- how should I estimate the cost?&nbsp; A straight division of $paid by #coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>I never thought I&#039;d spend money for a coin, having grown up with cigar boxes full of classic US coins under the beds... I thought collectible coins were collected from circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then one day I thought it would nice to have something from the 1700&#039;s, something unusual.&nbsp; The Feuchtwanger Composition tokens harkened and I bought one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jumped ship to ancients soon after (earlier this year).&nbsp; It started innocently enough, playing &quot;Guess the Emperor&quot; on CCF.&nbsp; Then I lost my ancient coin virginity to a Corinth Stater with Silenos control mark.&nbsp; Just under $450 which I thought was a very good price.&nbsp; I had no intention of buying more.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; (Hi, I&#039;m TIF and I&#039;m an ancient coin addict)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve spent a little more than that on a couple of coins, but most of my non-&quot;large mixed lot&quot; coins are in the ~$100-250 range.&nbsp; Occasionally less, occasionally more.</p><p><br /></p><p>So for now that is my comfort zone-- and I really should lay off buying for a while.&nbsp; In the next week or two I will be receiving PLENTY to keep me busy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
