<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GarrettB, post: 24768593, member: 139253&quot;]I have been very curious about the habits of others. Like many people, I&#039;ve been buying around 15-20 (closer to 20) coins per year with the average price being somewhere around 50-100 pounds (Mostly Roman Imperial). In London, the auctions seem to represent better value than the coin fairs, although you can pick up some nice cheap bronzes at the fair and not have to pay shipping. I&#039;d say 10% of my coins are around 150-300 pounds, though likely I&#039;ll go above that this Christmas for an Owl Tet (or if I saw a nice JC denarius like Meat Man&#039;s!). Echoing what others have said, it&#039;s likely the number of coins will dip now that I have filled in quite a few gaps and I&#039;m starting to specialize in certain, more costly areas. Looking at my habits, it seems I favour buying fewer coins in better condition. I buy quite a few coins from Roma Numismatics because I&#039;m currently based in the UK. If they had more auctions, I&#039;d likely buy more and spend more. Prob 20% of these coins are presents for birthdays or Christmas (chosen by me but funded by others!). Around October my wife usually says &#039;I guess you&#039;ll want another coin this Christmas?&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
