You want to get the best coin you can for your money. A set of coins from circulation is nothing special, especially if those coins are coins that are still circulating, and ANYBODY can get them at any time. There was a time where $20 was the most I paid for a coin too. In time you buy different coins, and you sell different coins, it funds your collection for the future. To answer another question of yours, the max I'd spend on a single coin depends on what the current going price is, and what other price guides list it as.
