Message:: [QUOTE="Tejas, post: 8279176, member: 84905"]I like the "satisfaction quotient" a lot. In economics we have a concept according to which all "normal" economic goods are subject to "diminishing marginal utility". For example, for somebody close to dying from thirst, the first cup of water has the highest utility, the 5th cup has lower utility and say the 20th cup has negative utility as it start to harm the body. In this sense I can say that I derived by far the most "utility" or "satisfaction" from the first ancient coins I bought that is coins like these ones below: I bought these coins for  GBP 8 a piece at the Charing Cross collector market in London in the early 1990s. I treasured and enjoyed these coins more than most of the much more expensive coins that I bought much later. [ATTACH=full]1462005[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=full]1462007[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
