i think that the price you pay for a coin depends on where you buy it and what it is, for example a US coin would certainly sell for more in the US than in the UK whilst the reverse is also true. i do not know any specific US collectors in my society, but all of us collect UK and world, we always in most cases just lump the US coins in with the rest of the world so really i don't think that any of us would pay large amounts for the same coins as you would in the states. but if a rare british coin comes along then the bidding hits the roof..i am currently in the process of buying a gothic crown in uncirculated condition and that for me would take precedence over anything else as the simple fact it is a british coin..............

 

$300 for a PCGS 1852 MS61 gold dollar

 

$1000 each for two chain cents, but I have paid $1400 for a counterfeit first generation PCGS slab.

 

Lost Dutchman, what a great Eagle !!

 

yeah, I love that gold, Matt!!!

I once paid $1000 for a 1922 No-D Die Pair #2 Strong Reverse graded XF-40 in an old smaller ANACS holder.

 

The coin I paid the most for is the 1880 Trade Dollar I recently posted in the follow the leader section. It is no longer my most valuable coin, though.

 

that was a great deal.

 

I never pay over $75 for a single coin.
Not out of cheapness, just out of having a budget...
However, I gave $180 for one of these:

 

$1,600 for this 1894 Morgan in XF-45.

 

Paid $1,189 for this one......

 

$75 for an uncirculated 1884 CC in GSA holder back in '99 from Joel Rettew on eBay.

Awesome coin. The color and luster is amazing.

 

my record for an individual coin has now been broken, £1,600 for a gothic crown.............

 

mine would be my UAE 5th national day 1000 dirhams 22ct gold coin, 40 grams it cost me a small fortunebut im hoping I didnt pay over the odds

 

would be interested if anyone knows the true worth for this coin so I can put my mind at ease.

 

$109 - California Diamond Jubilee Half Dollar

-LTB

 

$1200 for this PR-64 RB Matte Proof cent.

 

That's a really beautiful coin, Coinguy56!

 

Had you purchased this Commemorative from Lehigh ? Interesting, he just bought it about a year ago.
