[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 135272, member: 5719"]Other than silver bullion coins which for me are still in the "like 'em and bonus if they go up" category, Thalia and I have not been spending more than a few cents to a few dollars per coin. The most expensive coin I have bought her so far other than for her birthday Kookaburra was $5 and that was the New Zealand 1953 "Coronation Crown" for her Queen Elizabeth II exhibit. In terms of low vs. high grades and common vs. rare coins, I think Horvath is right on. This is especially with respect to world coins. The same coins are still in the "bargain bins"! I think I'm not re-immersed in the hobby enough to go to the more expensive price points, but I can see filling in some of the blanks in that Lincoln set and upgrading my 20th Century Type Coins, which will cost some non-trivial dollars. And then there is that St. Gaudens Double Eagle that I've always wanted...[/QUOTE]
