<p>[QUOTE="Bing, post: 1816256, member: 44132"]OK, but $2.67 is just a little on the light side. I dunno exactly, but let me try to break it down a little. I've been collecting for over 30 years and my record keeping for my early coins is rather sketchy. I own more than 650 Ancient coins with he most expensive costing me $1565 (Caligula Denarius) and perhaps 20 coins in the $500 to $900 range. The next group would include about a quarter of my entire collection in the $200-$300 range. Next would be nearly a third of the collection in the $100-$125. Of the remaing 300 or so coins, about a quarter in the $50-$75, a quarter in the $25-$50, with the remaining coming in under $25. So lets see. That works out to be:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 @ $1565</p><p>20 @ 500-900</p><p>165 @$200-$300</p><p>215 @$100-$125</p><p>75@ $50-$75</p><p>75@ $25-$50</p><p>150@ <$25</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not certain where my mean will fall (probably $100-$125), but I will tell you I am very uncomfortable spending anything over $200. I will also say, that I have become uncomfortable buying cheap filler coins as well. My average coin purchase in the last year works out to $50 per.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully this answers the question and is not too much into the weeds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
