Most expensive coin you have ever purchased

What is the most expensive coin you ever purchased. For me it was 1935 Peace Dollar MS63 slabbed by PCGS for $127 from L&C Coins and 1921 Peace Dollar F for $120 at the Rochester MN Winter Show in 2008.

I owe somebody $250 for a 1904 PF-64 V nickel.

 

I think I paid around $140 for my 1921 Walker.

 

Here's mine. Cost me $2600 last spring.

 

Nice coin FishyOne!

 

I think someone is already running a thread like this, but my most expenisve COIN purchase was an 1886-S $5 Gold, NGC AU-58 for $260 when gold was lower (the day the Behjing Olympics started in July '08). I sold it 5 days later because gold peaked up quite a bit.

 

I dropped $125 on the 1921 Peace dollar a few years ago. I'm hoping to get the 1913 V-nickel, or possibly the 1933 double eagle next...

 

That would be this one.

That would be this one. Cost me $1300 from Fleabay last November. $0 to have graded, I had a coupon.

 

I bought a 2009 .99999 Gold Buffalo PCGS MS-69 for $1200 last year at the S.F Mint's 1st coin show.
I can't complain now.

I can't recall which was more expensive -- either a toned 1936 matte proof buff or a chain cent. I remember thinking when I bought both that it was an awful lot to spend on a coin. Thankfully I have not lived to regret either one -- to the contrary they are my two favorite coins. When/if it comes time to sell, I think I'll do better on the chain cent than the buff, but time will tell, maybe.

 

VG-8 Chain cent S-2
by a wide margin

 

$375 for a 1909S IHC.

 

the most expensive bullion coin i've bought is a platimum eagle for $1,732


The most expensive rare coin is a 1911 $10 Indian Gold that I bought for $787 last year:

 

1884-CC GSA NGC band MS-63 $200

Maybe if someone just:
1. Purchased a Brasher Doubloon or a similar celebrity
2. Posted their address on this board

By the way, in 1964 I sent $50 to a coin dealer for a
1927 $20.
That was a lot of money back then.

 

I have an old '65 Red Book and it values a 1927 $20 at $85!

To those who are gonna mess with me for saying that I should use the Grey Sheet:
Who would even keep a 1964 Grey Sheet?
