<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2647294, member: 39084&quot;]This is an interesting intellectual exercise, although I&#039;m not quite certain it&#039;s all that practical.&nbsp; Nevertheless, my educational background compels me to offer my thoughts on this topic -- possibly useless, since I&#039;ve never purchased a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a difference between <i>cost</i> and <i>value</i> that I think is being missed here.&nbsp; If I buy a&nbsp; single lot of 20 coins for $200, my average per-coin <i>cost</i> is $10.&nbsp; While some of the coins may be more <i>valuable</i> than others to me, that doesn&#039;t make their cost greater, since others may not agree with how I value them individually.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I discard or give away 19 of the 20 coins, keeping the one that I really wanted, then my cost has risen to $200 for that coin.&nbsp; If I give away 10 of them, then my cost is $20 per coin.&nbsp; But other than average cost per coin, I really don&#039;t see the logic in trying to assign any other amount to each coin.&nbsp; Any other calculation is assigning a value to the coins, not a cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
