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

Less than to much but more than too little.

so you think this die had 3 clashes in different places?

 

Careful, Frank. Your wife is only an anonymous phone call away!

Yes, but on three different occasions. The 82-CC VAM-2 series is a good example of multiple clashes over the life of the dies.

i like how my girlfriend has spent more on coins then i have! i must be a lucky one

 

Go for it, I enjoy revenge!

 

Really? Whats her phone number?

 

I spent 200 on a 1914 half dollar. Usually I tend not to spend more than $50 at a time

 

I finally ordered two of the silver hockey pucks from the mint. $205 each for the Gettysburg and Vicksburg coins.

 

Two questions:

A) When did you open a mint in Vicksburg and Gettysburg?

B) How much was that by the pound?

 

I think about a hundred bucks, but my highest single coin ever sold was $800 and I only paid $30 for it...
My hobby pays for itself!

 

$1,800 on a 1924 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle PCGS slabbed MS-64.

 

$1189 for 2009 high relief double eagle gold...beautiful with a great presentation!

 

$475 for a XF-40 1879-CC Morgan in an ANACS slab. (a couple weeks ago)

 

What coin did ya sell? A morgan?

 

I am too ashamed to admit how much (7 grand). It was a California Fractional token that was mis-marketed. I did not have a book then. I thought I was buying a higher R value (like a R5 or R6 instead of a R2). I forget the details. I have the receipt for the coin. I paid about 6 times too much for my first 11 coins/tokens. The good part is that I do love the series and enjoy the coins. With time, my lack of experience and misplaced trust will not feel so bad.

 

I made a mistake, I sold two coins totaling near $800. Both I bought for about $30 ea.
The more expensive sold was
1993 Chinese Rooster Proof Scallop - 2/3 oz 90% Silver ( I had the original box and it was double mint sealed with all original certificates )... I believe it brought close to $600

 

nope, sorry. but i'll post anything she buys today at the coin show, she is putting together a fine capped dime set

 

Not sure this is the best thread for a first post, but the most I have dropped is a little over $2000 on a 1902 £5 Sovereign. Beautiful coin though.

 

160 bucks on a Franklin Proof.
