<p>[QUOTE="sand, post: 24702957, member: 118540"]Like [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER], I'm surprised that my 20 to 30 coins per year, is at the high end of the poll, so far. Perhaps it's because, I buy mostly relatively inexpensive coins. Also, like [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER], I'm a generalist, therefore it seems like, there are a lot of inexpensive coins available for me to buy.</p><p>I based my poll answer, on the number of coins that I've bought in 2023 so far. In 2023 so far, I've bought 20 coins. If that trend continues, then I'll have bought 29 coins by the end of the year. In 2022, I bought approximately 108 coins. However, approximately 50 of those coins were cheap US coins, such as proof Lincoln cents, and a bunch of Indian head cents. 2021 was probably my peak year, for the number of non-US coins, that I bought in 1 year. However, it would take me a long time to go back and add it up, because I didn't keep a nice simple list for 2021, or the years before that. I've been collecting US coins since childhood. I've been collecting ancients and medievals since 2018.</p><p>In 2023, I've been buying fewer coins, and I've been buying cheaper coins. Partly because, I have almost all of the coins I ever wanted. And partly because, I've been trying to spend less money on coins. In 2023, of the 20 coins I've bought so far, only 3 of them were more than $100. I haven't bought any US coins in 2023, so far. Probably because I haven't gone to any local coin shows, in 2023.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
