Selling your... *spoilers* Also, First City Coins

Soul.
If I've already thrown that poor spider lady under the bus in favor of the Provost (I'm a bad man, I know, but even if I go straight to hell for that, its not like I'll be moving very far). Is there anything that I'll miss if I sell my soul?
From what I have read, it is possible to get my soul back through an arduous journey initiated by the expenditure of some Fate, but what really bothers me is the above issue (possibly being shut out of some quest lines) and the price.
The amount of material reward you get for selling your immortal soul keeps making me think of this old canard:

As far as first city coins are concerned, am I ever going to need any more coins than... I don't even remember what the minimum was.... ? Because there was at least one event that I got AFTER having reached the minimum that gave me a coin...
Frankly, money is getting tight as I struggle to become a person of some importance, and, well...
... Oh, what I meant was, I was thinking of giving away some coins out of the kindness of my heart. Really. Thats what I had in mind <_<.

If you are pursuing Heart's Desire and ever have less than 77 coins, the storylet to get more opens up again. This is a good way to "cash in" Connected: the Masters if you need to get rid of it in a hurry.

I've sided with the Masters at every obvious opportunity (I did miss a couple due to not expecting that they'd give me a boost), and I have also given Mr. Pages thousands of Echoes worth of books. He seems rather fond of them. Fist of the Bazaar did actually come with a touch of favour too, but really, it's Mr. Pages who I have to thank for my status.
As for Mr. Eaten - as it stands, there's no reason to lose your Masters connection in pursuit of him yet. There's an option to do so, certainly, but as there are alternatives, I simply chose those. If there's a genuine, forced choice to make, I'm not sure which way I'd go. Quite possibly, I'd support the Masters over Mr. Eaten.
Truth be told, my primary reason for getting as high as 8 is that each rank of Connection has a title. I am driven to know things and thus I wanted to know what these were and just how close I could get to the Masters. In my case, I understand that "There May be Indiscretions", which is a step up from 7's "Jokes are Cautiously Shared". Of course, it would be nice if having a high level of favour opened doors.
I do wonder just how high anyone has taken this Connection. I can't be the only person who has reached 8, can I? Naturally, I intend to push higher.
