<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7323706, member: 19463&quot;]Use the Coin Talk search function and you will find quite a few posts where aurei have been shared by some of our members.&nbsp; A few of them are spectacular.&nbsp; We each will make a decision on how to spend our coin budget. If you were given $100,000 to spend on coins would you select one very special coin (there are many that have sold over that number) or 100,000 $1 pieces of metal that probably were coins once upon a time?&nbsp; Most will answer somewhere in between but we are left with the matter of 1000 coins at $100 or 100 coins at $1000.&nbsp; Here is where many of us differ.&nbsp; About thirty years ago, I was told that a &#039;serious&#039; collector on ancient coins was one who spent $1000 a year on coins.&nbsp; I suspect that number has changed a mite especially now that we have the Covid bubble in effect.&nbsp; The aureus that makes me willing to spend my entire year&#039;s budget on one coin may exist.&nbsp; I have not seen it yet. So far this year I have not bought a single coin.&nbsp; Will this be the year of the aureus?&nbsp; Probably not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
