<p>[QUOTE="Codera, post: 24852830, member: 70631"]$450 (in 2014, so not accounting for inflation) for the Heraclius solidus that I have in my thumbnail. This was a very special purchase that I wouldn't normally make because I was given a generous paycheck after doing a favor for a family friend (helping to edit one of her books) and there was a whole stash of Byzantine gold coins on Forum Ancient Coins at the time that I couldn't resist so I just went for it, thinking I wouldn't get this opportunity again any time soon. Usually I don't spend more than $100 per coin, though sometimes I've spent more than that for certain pieces that draw my eye. Depending on how much more money I make in the future, I could make some more higher-end purchases (maybe even another gold coin). In the meantime, I mostly focus on more affordable silver and bronze coins that still have some good visual appeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
