What is your collection or most expensive coin worth?

What is your collection worth? Mine is worth like $250. (I just started out) And what is your most expensive piece? (Mine is a 1879 Morgan Dollar)

At least three generations of memories. I'm still working out the ones from "the Old Country" stuff.

You'll find many collectors, especially advanced collectors, those with large or valuable collections, or anyone concerned about security, are usually reticent to divulge such information.

 

Besides myself, the auction house, and my wife who spied on my bank account whilst I was in Netherlands, nobody shall even know. In fact I will not even share what the coin is, but it is significant and quite very nearly unique.

 

using the red book mines worth 1,867$

 

Id say, at most maybe $3200 and thats cause of gold.

 

Mintstate gold sovereign - about $300

 

Most expensive are a couple of bust dollars and as for the collection, I won't know until I go to sell it.

 

I have no idea what my collection is worth, but this is mostly due to the fact that over the span of about a week, the bulk of my collection went from mostly American coins to mostly world coins, and I know little about them or their worth, but they were gifts (and prizes) so I could hardly refuse them.

While I won't share the most expensive coin (for reasons of modesty and secretiveness), my most valuable coins (to me, at least) are a number of gorgeously toned wheat cents that my father gave me for my collection.

 

New to the forum but, with you on this one. My most valuable coin is a 1909 Indian Head cent that I shall never have graded. It was given to my by my father out of his own collection to start me down the path of collecting. It is not, however, my most expensive coin.

 

And with good reason.. call me paranoid, but threads like this always make me uneasy.

 

Yep, like throwing out the bait an' making people disclose the value of potential theft items.

 

Really? Again new here, but i don't see how. Nothing here discloses location. I guess if you've been on the forum a while?

 

I don't generally discuss the value of my collection or anything about it's disposition, storage, or etc in a public forum. sorry.

 

I don't kiss and tell......

 

The only thing I ever say about the location of my collection is that its stored with a certified gun nut. Loaded guns are stashed through out the house in case of an intruder, he's a lifelong member of the NRA, he builds his own guns and loads his own bullets. He can put 5 bullets through the same hole at a hundred yards. And he will shoot anything that enters the house that is not supposed to. Just letting you know.

You don't necessarily have to reveal details all in the same post. Someone who is scouting a forum like this for potential targets will lurk for a while, will pick up little details you let slip. He'll use clues you post, piece them together with other information, and before you know it, you are at his mercy. Its easier than you might think to find someone, exactly where they are, and exactly what they have where. Never let your guard down!

 

Hmm...it's priceless to me

Bullion not included, it's not really worth much in the grand scheme of things (all bullion in safety deposit box at bank btw).

Most pricey non-bullion coin was the 1909-S vdb AU-50.

 

My collection is valuable enough that my insurance company would be upset if it were stolen, but not valuable enough to bankrupt me if it weren't insured.

To me an 18th Century vg denga is my most valuable coin for highly personal sentimental reasons, even though it catalogs at <$1.

 

At least 7 dollars and maybe as high as nine.
