<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 731170, member: 4552"]That is really difficult to tell what people spend or don't spend on coins when you discuss it over the internet. I'm sure most members here are telling the truth but it sure would be easy to say I spend 1 dollar a year or I spend 1 million a year on coins. Typical I trust you situation I guess. As for me I seldom spend over a million a year on coins. :smile Usually a lot, lot, lot less. </p><p>As to budgets on spending on coins it is really interesting to go to many coin shows. Since the average customer is about 1,000 years old, slight exageration, there seams to be no end to the amount spent on coins there. One dealer I know showed me a 1916D Mercury Dime in a slab for $6,000. I said that won't go fast. Poof, the guy right next to me pulled out a mountain of cash and bought the thing. At coin shows I've seen many, many times people that appear to have no limits on what they can spend on coins. I sometimes wonder if it isn't the budget, but the knowledge that there isn't much time left to want something so budget or no budget, use what you can or you may never get the chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
