[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1409775, member: 27043"]It's probably the only point of it, judging from the rest of your post. Clearly, any given collector has to decide many things. What type of coins will he collect? How long is she willing to work to complete a certain set? What is his intent with this collection? And so on. All of these will dictate what one can "afford", obviously. But the OP's question seems to make it clear that he has $X to spend, and for $X, he can get 2 lesser coins, or 1 higher quality coin. Nothing in his post seemed to suggest that there was a period of time to be saving for, or that he had another collection to match, or anything else. This all seems tangential to his original question, and, to be honest, seems to be a lot of wharrgarbl with no real purpose except to contrive a scenerio where disagreement may be found. The OP asked if he should spend X on 2 inferior items, or one superior one. In such a case the answer is clear. Always buy the best you can afford.[/QUOTE]
