What's the most you've ever spent on a coin?

$175 for a 1798 S-174 Draped Bust Cent. That is the current record that I hope to beat in the near future.

The most I've spent so far - 3 grand on an excessively rare Mexico 8 Reales.

 

I would love to see your 8 Reales. Please post if you can.


My 3 most expensive purchases:

World Coins:
$ 9000 for a rare Santiago mint 8 reales dated 1768 (which turned out to be a fake)
$ 2700 for a rare Santiago mint 8 reales dated 1787
$ 2500 each for 3 roman Aurei

U.S Coins
$ 3300 for a Massachusetts pine tree shilling
$ 2800 for a 1796 dime
$ 1700 for a 1795 flowing hair $

 

I spent $40.00 on a 1926 Peace Dollar.

 

Ouch Eduard. Were you able to get your money back from the guy who sold it to you?

 

1,500,000

 

Your shipwrecked Escudos?

 

What coin?

 

You can see Eduard's 1750 on the Doubloons of Eight thread.

I would love to see the 1787 posted there.

 

I did forget to say it was in CLP :smile

I have a problem when it comes to spending a large amount on a coin.
That problem being is I don't have a large amount to spend. They don't call me gbroke for nothin...

At $120, which was a steal, this was my most expensive purchase for a single coin, which I know is peanuts compared to you big Bawlers.
