<p>[QUOTE="-monolith-, post: 24768438, member: 150064"]I have a monthly coin / book budget and have established a list of "priority purchases" to prevent me from impulse buying. Therefore I buy what I can, when I can. Most people forget about reference books; they are as important as the coins. My book budget is 10% of my coin budget, sometimes more if I really need the book. I'm still filling in gaps in my collection so I'm mostly purchasing cheaper, more common coins ($100 or less per coin). Eventually the gaps will be filled which will allow me to purchase more expensive coins. In the past year I've been averaging around 20-30 coins per month (200-300 per year) depending on how many auctions I attend. One of my rules is to purchase at least 10 coins per auction to help offset the shipping cost. I typically attend 2-4 auctions per month, not including purchases from eBay or Vcoins. After seeing all the other responses I guess I have a pretty large coin budget; now I feel embarrassed. This is most of what I purchased so far this year (01/23 - 10/23) and we still have November and December which are big purchase months for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584406[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
