But nowadays when I want to play with cheaper coins I will build up a small collection of them for a few months to a year or so, and then, when it's complete or nearly so, I'll sell it and roll the entire lump sum into one "better" coin for the Box of 20. This strategy works well for me, since I'm not the patient "<i>save up for nine months to buy a coin</i>" kind of guy. And otherwise, I would never have a $300-500+ lump sum to sink into a single coin at any given time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
