Nice coin!

Think about all the thousands and thousands that were melted in the 1940s because they did not sell. (If I remember correctly, the original issue price for the Lafayette Dollars was $2.)

 

You are correct. BTW, it is a DuVall 3-D which is one of the rare die varieties.

 

Very nice coin! Very nice.

 

I spent $23 on this puppy:

Then I sold it for $8 because I found a better example (For $14)

Yes, I don't pay much for coins.

 

I spent about $100 in grading fee's on a 1972 Type 2 IKE trying to get an upgrade from MS64. Finally had to settle for an MS64+ which later sold for $500+

Other than that, I don't spend much on my coins other than paying their rent for the SDB they seem to need.

Oh wait, I just remembered, I bought a plane ticket to Longbeach for my 1971-S Prototype last year because he was hollering something about wanting to meet David Hall.

 

Your coins have expensive taste.......

 

I actually like that coin. Very Nice.

 

Seven hundred for a 1841 Seated dollar. Then another $30 to
get it authenticate by INS. Shortly after that I remembered
that PNG authenticated coins bought from member dealers
for free if you paid at least $500 for per coin.

It's not enough to be knowledgeable. You kind a have
to remember the stuff.

 

Here you go :devil:

 

Royal Oak?

 

The Immigration and Naturalization Service does coins? :devil:

 

Of course. They're from the government. They're here
to help.

I still have that polariod cert somewhere.

 

I liked it too, and definitely regret selling it for $8, but the one I upgraded it for was more of a red color to it. Though the only reason I sold it was to downgrade it. So much for a matching grade for the rest of the set.

 

5 figures. Any more information and my my x-wife's lawyer will be calling me.

 

~$500 for an 1881 $5 gold coin.

 

That was a good deal

 

ok i've only been collecting for about 2 weeks so I gotta ask. What's the deal with the 1913 nickel everyone's talkin about?

 

The V Nickel?

 

There are only five known to exist and are valued in the millions.
