What Is The Average Price You Pay For A Coin?

To me, it all depends. I can be more accurate on a per year basis on all types of coins. As of the past 3 Months, it seems to have been $200-$800. I have bought a few more Colonials for my type set, and some of these are not exactly inexpensive.

If you take it over all your coins the average will naturally be very low. But if you take it as a moving average say just the coins purchased over the last four months with that four month period moving along as time passes, you will find average cost rising over the years as collections become more advanced and incomes rise. When I started my purchases were seldom more than a few dollars each, but now my average is in the $100 - $150 per coin range. Sure from time to time I'll make a much more expensive purchase or a much cheaper one, but the typical purchase is in the $100 to $150 range.

The majority of my collection was bought for silver melt value or lower. I probably have less then 25 coins where I paid more then that and those ones probably average in the 50-100 range.

The character of Sap's collection and my own are very similar. He has made all of the comments that I would make as well.

That is expressed in the average purchase price of a coin.
