[QUOTE="thejewk, post: 4057112, member: 100136"]I'm a bottom feeder, so it's a different game for me. For me, if a coin sells for £100+ I just don't bother thinking about it. It's not that simple though, because not only do coin prices seem to scale infinitely up with condition, but the £10-150 price bracket is often a graveyard where pretty poor condition coins with few redeeming features go to sit for VF+ prices indefinitely. My strategy has evolved to keeping an eye on multiple sources and snapping up coins in my areas of interest that have good style and eye appeal. Sometimes I get lucky on something in nice condition, and sometimes I find myself with a little extra money to give me some more scope, but either way I've ended up with (in my opinion of course) an interesting, attractive and historical selection that just keeps expanding.[/QUOTE]
