That being the case, my personal perspective is that, in general, you should go after every coin that seems appropriate for your collection, within a set budget for that specific coin.  This might mean that you'll go over budget for the group of coins in total, and if you end up with all of them, you'll be searching for a way to stretch your budget.  But once a specific coin has been purchased by someone else, you're more likely to find yourself regretting that you neglected even to go after the coin.  It's better to feel that you lost the coin due to budget constraints for that particular coin, rather than that you didn't even try.  Plus, certain coins seem to "speak" to you when you see them, and for those coins, you want to put your best effort into acquiring them.[/QUOTE]
