If you bought one of each option from the mint this year...You spent at least $37,861.76 before ship

And thats just for the options with coins...I did not get into the storage or display boxes and special collectables.

Got any money left?

    I passed on the first day coin covers and plats...passed on the gold eagles and SAE's, too.
    ... passed on the spoons and Legacy set. I passed on the Buffalo and silver commems.
    I still spent a few grand image

    Only bought Platinum $100, two ASE coins in Unc, and an Unc US Mint set.

    I'm sure a lot of collectors would complain about that, but compared with the mint offerings prior to the mid 1980s this is much more fun!

    Collect what you want.
    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    that is an ungodly amount of money just to buy one of each offering from the mint.
    how much would it have been if a "coin collector" stayed away from the "bullion
    round coins"?

    a mere 2500? ;o)
