hehe. I had to say so far, because I have several coins I'm hoping to buy that will cost a little more.
1925-S S$1 NGC MS65, $8,200 including the buyers fee at Teletrade. Dads birth year and there are no MS66 in either NGC or PCGS.
My priciest current coin is a gorgeous 1881-S Morgan NGC MS65. I know it's a common date and common for that grade, but I only paid $125 for it on Ebay along with a 1923 Peace NGC MS65 for $115.
Silvereagle82, I have no pics but can give you the lot number at Teletrade after I visit that site. I hope I didn't get ripped off.
Silvereagle82, It is auction 2088, lot number 2168 on Sept. 5, 05 at Teletrade. I would appreciate any input to the value of this coin good or bad.
the most i've paid for a single coin is $25.00. i have a very modest budget, but that doesn't mean i don't find great deals. that $25.00 coin is worth a bit more than what i paid. -Steve
There is no shame in that. When I started collecting I had to borrow money off my Mom to search penny rolls. As you get older you can spend more money on a coin. It is like watching corn grow. You can hear it but can't see it.
Last year I bought a 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, PCGS MS64, for $22,500 at auction and sold it 3 days later for $28,000. Nothing like making a quick $5,500
"Last year I bought a 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, PCGS MS64, for $22,500 at auction and sold it 3 days later for $28,000. Nothing like making a quick $5,500 " But was was the tax implication of the short term capital gain?
