I am almost broke from 2008. but i will probably buy the UHRDE. I spent the most I have ever spent
in any year since I started collecting. I always buy at least two of all the annual releases at the Mint.
I bought a lot of Morgans and Peace Dollars last year and an extra complete AU Peace set in a Dansco.
I will probably put most of my extra money in silver coinage especially for set upgrades and Investment.
I have a source for pre 1933 Gold too. The U.S.Mint Gold & Platinum Eagles? It all depends. Therefore
I probably will not spend as much in 2009.

So far, the survey results are showing a pretty even split between more, less, and the same. Anyone else have comments on their vote?

I plan to spend the same amount, but more carefully. When working on some of my sets, I will make much more of an effort to wait for just the right coin to come along, rather than buying coins that are so-so to fill the slots.

I have since changed my mind on the UHRDE!!! See survey #3.
