<p>[QUOTE="Mikecouil, post: 1512708, member: 31420"]In my case, I have limited time to shop for coins, typically an hour or so every night, which is early morning U.S. time. If I see a coin that catches my eye I'm going to bid what I deem a fair price. If there is someone else with the same idea, I'm going to keep pushing until it hits the price I've determined it to be worth. Typically if it's something I want and the difference is 1-3 dollars of what I determine it to be worth, it's going to be mine. My 6 year old is having a blast checking the mail every day for Daddy's coins and after he's inspected what it is, he helps mom take a picture of it to send me and then puts it in Daddy's coin drawer, which he knows they will be when I get home in February and we'll pull them all out and play with them. I've been drawn to circulated very old copper coins because I dont have to worry about him wrecking them and they are quite affordable. I'm buying some silver, but I make sure it's already graded prior to arriving or in some other type of case. We both LOVE proof coins as well and I'm getting them cheap enough that if he were to get antsy and take one out of it's 2x2 it wont break my bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
