Just doing a quick calculation in my head, I actually think I'm probably in the $900-$1100 range. I spent a lot of time bringing my collection of modern proof coins up to date.

Just my Two Cents (or $2.00 as the case may be...)

Divisions should have been in increments of $500 up to $2000, then $1000 slices after that to $10,000+. I'm not saying who on this forum does, but to those few, $2,500.00 is one slabbed coin or a drop in the bucket...

Just sayin'!

Yeah, a larger $$$ is needed for me, but then again I sold more $$$ in coins then is listed above too.

In my annual coin subscriptions that I HAVE to have every year are as follows:

Proof, silver proof, & business strike mint sets:
$200
"sufficient" BU rolls of dollars, halfs, quarters, nickels, dimes, and cents:
$400
Silver Collection yearly
$1000

I think that about covers what I TRY and accumulate each year.

About $200-250 I think. Most I've ever spent on coins!

the scale is too small. I have spent over 5k on purchases from other CCF members.

Sold? $45,653.

A quick look over my shoulders to make sure the wife isn't looking.
Well going from memory; 5 ATB's, 5 25th anniversary sets, 60 ASE's in assorted conditions, a few silver Panda's
and a couple commemorative's, I would say too much. Not counting the huge gun safe and the coin boxes to store them in.
Oh yeah, there was also the 2006 ASE set and a few silver proof sets.. Merry Christmas!

...especially considering how many of us on CCF bought five American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Sets from the Mint.

I have spent over $2500 this year. I got bit by the silver bug early in March and it's been an enjoyable but costly addiction.

My wife lets me get away with about $1500-2000.
I feel like my collection is getting pretty nice at this rate but
I'm certainly not a high roller like a lot of the serious pro's on this site.
I'm still goldless:(
