[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3584440, member: 76194"]Time to Max those credit cards and go on a coin shopping spree....or you can do what I do and set a small budget per month (usually $100-$150), which rolls over into the next month if I don't buy a coin that month), and when the budget is spent I don't look at any dealer websites or auctions until the next month. That's the only way I've taught myself discipline in this hobby. I know that if I want a $300+ coin that will mean two additional months of no coins, so how bad do I really want that $300 coin?
