<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3295276, member: 44357&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t sell all of my coins for a single coin but I possibly would sell a chunk of my collection for the right coin if I needed to do so. [USER=75525]@rrdenarius[/USER] &#039; post is appropriate as I was considering selling some more replaceable pieces for that exact Flamininus stater. I ended up deciding to not bid but it is one of just a few types for which I&#039;d consider a culling (outside of the periodic &quot;spring cleaning&quot; I do of duplicates).</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of your budget, every coin purchase has an opportunity cost. There have been many times where I become frustrated at being outbid during a major auction and days later find a coin that I couldn&#039;t have afforded if I were successful in the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ultimately I&#039;ve realized that I can&#039;t just sit on the sidelines until some major, important coin comes up for sale. There are too many great coins being sold all the time and I&#039;d kick myself if I let them all slip by. But, the &quot;smaller&quot; purchases do add up and I am consciously balancing quantity and quality in the lens of a finite budget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
