Money is NOT abundant at this time so I go with what I got and, with a little trading, I remain in the hobby. Today (YES TODAY) I brought home 3 Buffalo nickels which cost me $112.00, two 2006 proof Jefferson nickels at $3.00 each and a Buffalo Silver Round for 14.00. That pretty much wiped me out for a while!!!
Like many here I used to spend freely untill I was fired in 1996 a first time and end 2000 a second time Now I am a temp  |

It really varies for me. In October, I think I may have spent close to $250 on coins, just because there was a big show and lots of coins that I liked. Normally, it's around $50 to $100, although I'm looking to go on a big spending spree in March if I can convince my parents to take me to the ANA show in Charlotte. The months that I spend a lot usually follow months when I spend a little, so it equals out in the long run. |

I picked 20-50 dollar range since that is what my budget allows right now. But when I first started but my amount was much higher the begining of this year but I think I spent more then I should have since it hurt the household buget but I have learned to control my self alittle more. It is very easy to get caried away when you first start collecting and that is what happened to me and now I have to put my self on a smaller budget to make sure all household bill get paid before coins. Plus with 3 young kid all under 5 most of my coin money goes to them. I hope one day I can have a 500-1000 a month coin budget if I want it but not at this time.

One hundred dollars with the occasional splurge into the several hundred range. Usually if I have my eye on something more expensive, I try to go conservative with money in the month before I make the purchase.

I have a small bank account that I deposit small sums in as I can,, this account is specifically for coins, If I want something special then it may take a few months of saving to purchase it or it may take a few weeks. It never fails that once I buy one coin another is in sight and the cycle continues.

My monthly coin purchases depend on my mood. I don't have a fixed amount I spend. When I'm not busy enough and feel like I need a charge, I'll go online and order some stuff. Lately I've been dropping too much cash. If I had the discipline (and I don't) I would limit purchases to around $300 per month.

It varies from one month to another specially if I sell some I use this money to buy another coins.
An average of 30$ per month is enough for me

Just dont have enough money to be buying expensive coins. I rely on circulation and the help of alot of people from this forum!
*************************** I'm with laxmaster92. I try to keep my spending below $20. Living on a fixed income doesn't give me much choice. Most of my collection consist of circulated coins, as long as the dates are visiable and I can fill the slots in the albums, few are purchased if it's a priced I can afford. Edited by Mila_cent

As I agree with many of you, I may go without spending anything for a few months to maybe a $1000.00 In a day but that, is an extreme, extreme case. I cant even predict my self, If the money is there and something catches my eye, I will Buy it. With In reason of course

For the most part of 2006 I was in the 250 to 500 area, but for the last few months I am spending about 100 to 200.

I spend about 80.00 per month but I also sell about 175-450.00 a mouth so it balances out
