[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4192526, member: 78244"]The way I look at it is how much important/useful stuff could I buy with that amount of money. $3k would have put me through a semester of school $12k would pay for my rent for the year $25k would have paid for all of my school $35k would buy me a nice brand-new car $50k would pay for my living expenses for years $71k would buy me a nice airplane $100k would buy me a nice little house $200k would buy me the airplane and fund its operation for 10 years $300k would buy me a very nice large house (where I live) or the small house and my expenses for many years. etc. etc. etc. Put in perspective, such expensive coins seem ridiculous. If you have the money to burn, so be it. I won’t judge (unless you pay $100k for a Franklin half or $350k for a Mercury Dime). I’m happy with my plethora of $5-100 coins. If I need a fix for $500k coins, then I just go to a major show I talk with dealers who have them. If they aren’t busy, ask to see some of the coins. Usually they are more than happy to share them with you. :)[/QUOTE]
