A better question might be a poll or something indicating the value of the purchase. I spent less than $300 for all my junk. Someone who didn't buy a coin this month, may have spent $1000+ for his last purchase of ONE COIN. Sometimes it comes down to quantity vs quality. The lucky get BOTH.

Zero. Saw nothing I liked. But I did buy two at the end of January.

That 1833 half would be very hard to pass by!
You have good taste! It's even nicer than the pix. Flashy luster and gorgeous iridescent periphery colors...almost mark-free.
It's from the Eric P. Newman auction in Nov 2013, graded MS62. It hammered for a steep price at the time (just short of $5k). I was lucky to get first shot when it came back to the market and paid a bit more than half the auction price.

Not a single one. Not a big surprise or difference from the norm. I did open the ancient I bought from @ajaan in January and saved for this month on Saturday though. I have not imaged it yet.
My plan is to buy one per month to celebrate my 10th year in the hobby. That's a lot more than I've done in the past five years.

Zero but I have several at Heritage and GC that come up for auction soon. So I am saving for them.

Just made my 1ST purchase for the New Year.
There's a LOT of stuff on the market, just not a LOT that I want to own.

I've spent a whopping $53 so far this year on coins.

I LOVE old coins.
None this week.
Maybe this next one?....
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
None, and Ive only bought one so far this year.

One last week that I have yet to receive, but that's an early coin from France so does that count? Otherwise not since FUN
Shown in a different thread.
Probably close to 1000. Made an offer on a local antique store's entire stock of coins, and took in about 40 over the table at the show yesterday.
Nothing worthy of pictures or a thread, but mostly inexpensive stuff (sub $100 stuff) that sells well at coin club or shows.

None, although it was not for a lack of trying.
7 Morgans, 40 face BU Frankie’s, a roll of 1983d halves, a roll of 55s BU dimes for a total of 157 Coins.
Six, including the three below. Impulsive - couldn't help myself. Now I have no budget for the Long Beach show!

I'm no grading expert, but its hard to believe it only graded MS62.
3 all MS66+ Morgans...
