    I admittedly didn’t know Chinese coins dated to 400BC. Thanks for teaching me something new!

    The Ancient Chinese State of Chu Gold Ying Yuan is still the record holder and I don't expect that record to be broken anytime soon..., but this month might become the record one for overall spending on coins:nailbiting:...

    About $119 for an Australian 1938 Crown.

    Also $575 for 1883 Hawaii Dollar. Hawaii is now a US state but was an independent kingdom in 1883.

    Oh, if there was a separate thread for ancients, I guess my Titus aureus above doesn’t count.

    Hmm. Somewhat to my surprise, I find that the World coin which cost me the most was actually the most modern piece in my collection.

    It cost me $2,489.50, which was just a bit above gold spot price at the time (May 12, 2024). Since spot has since risen, I do not regret that at all. I’m currently ahead, on the bullion value alone.

    Only 500 of these were struck, and I’m a Mayflower descendant.

    I put in a 10000 CHF bid, but I didn't win it, it hammered for 13000 CHF.

    You would be a happy camper if you would have won it for 14K. These go for 30K now.

    14000 CHF + 20% BP + 25% VAT = 21000 CHF = 22600 EUR + at least another 100 EUR for shipping, insurance and customs fees, so the end cost at that hammer price would have been at least 22700 EUR (which is 24000 USD).
