<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2011288, member: 19463&quot;]I wish I could participate in this one but I have shown my cheap coins along the way in my last two coin show reports and plan to bore you when I come back from the Baltimore show November 1.&nbsp; We here on CT have quite a variety of coin collecting styles.&nbsp; Given $1000 to spend on coins, some of us would buy 40 $25 coins while others would save the thousand in the hope that they could add it to a few more like it an buy something &quot;worth having&quot;.&nbsp; Most of you here have been given the opportunity to read my 2001 coin show report when I used a $100 budget and showed three ways of spending it. At that date, I rarely bought a coin over $100 but the denarius/dollar exchange rate is not what it used to be.&nbsp; If I were to write that page again today, I might feel the need to use a higher number since going 3 hours away to a show and only spending $100 seems less appealing than it did in 2001.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those who have not read my pages on buying at a coin show are invited to check them out now:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The thoughts still hold but the $6 coins shown are probably at least $16.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
