<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2934812, member: 84744"]Thanks so much, everyone! I can't tell you how much of a difference it has made to have such a great group of coin buddies.

Also makes me very comfortable with the idea that I'll have to curb my expenditure next year. You're right... there are wonderful coins to be had on any budget.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The average cost for the group lot was 16 bucks per coin, but when I weighted them according to resale value, this one dropped down to $8.60. A bit artificial maybe, but I think that is the most accurate measure of its cost. I got pretty lucky with that group...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That seems to be a popular one.

What I will mostly cut down on are "hole-fillers," but I fear I will have to let some bargains whoosh by... it will be hard!!

[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2934812, member: 84744"]Thanks so much, everyone! I can't tell you how much of a difference it has made to have such a great group of coin buddies.

Wow, Gavin, those are kind words that mean a lot to me. Also makes me very comfortable with the idea that I'll have to curb my expenditure next year. You're right... there are wonderful coins to be had on any budget. The average cost for the group lot was 16 bucks per coin, but when I weighted them according to resale value, this one dropped down to $8.60.

After I've washed the youth's face I'll post it again, hopefully I won't wreck it! :bucktooth: Oh, I probably will. :) But there's also the plan of saving my budget for the big splashy buys, which can be bargains in their own right.
