The Most I Ever Spent On A Coin Was....

About $600 for a PCGS VF-30 1921 Standing Liberty quarter.

This question I do think about myself often. Most I’ve spent on a singe coin was around $265. Unfortunately I don’t have it any longer so I’ve got nothing to show. That is a very nice 1921 SLQ

 

I should have mentioned in my first post that this is still a gorgeous coin. I have a full set of Standing Liberty coins and this is IMO the key to the set. My 1921 is not as detailed as this, but what a good coin.

 

You may be right, but it wasn't a question of most boring or question of gold prices. It was a question of what was the most you spent on a coin. I bought this coin because I like eagles and I think it is rock solid on that reverse IMO. Now, if you don't like that, how about a coin I spent less on and the eagle is just as brilliant.

 

Right there with you -- except I didn't get one. Yet...

 

A private issue NGC PR70 silver half disme to celebrate the U.S. Mint's 225th Anniversary, signed by Edmund Moy. Paid $100. Just saw one listed on e-Bay for $400! Goes well with my other 2017 coins to complete the set including the ASE with "S" mintmark as part of the limited silver edition, the enhanced uncirculated coins (raw and slabbed), and the special Liberty coins with all four mintmarks.

 

Not including gold composition coins, this proof Seated Liberty half dollar is the most expensive. My wife always looks at coins that arrive in the mail and was impressed with this one, until looking at the bill of sale.

 

My 1924 Double Eagle. PCGS MS64. It has increased in value since purchased. The only one I own.

 

I'm a cheap guy, but I kind of wanted the 2016 standing lib 1/4 oz gold. The mint issued it at $480, but a couple of years later someone on Craigslist (yeah, Craigslist) was offering one at $425. A couple of weeks later it was down to $400. When it hit $380, I couldn't resist. Gov packaging and all.

 

Very nice and congrats. I picked up one of the dimes this week, still want the SLQ.

 

$125 for a CC Morgan and $95 for a second one.

 

.

The most I’ve ever paid was earlier this month for coins I don’t have yet. Those would be the new ’21 Morgan and the ’21 Peace dollars. I believe the ransom for each of those was/is $85 + $4.95 s/h. Before that was the new ASE for $77.95 otd.

 

I paid around $300 for this 1/4 OZ "Krug" . I definitely got a deal ,after all it was years ago .

 

It was for my 75th birthday

 

Nice coin! I've always wanted one of those.

Since it was a birthday gift you probably don't know what it cost, but my guess for that coin in that condition, it was probably a lot, say, + - $1200.00.

Again, that's a nice coin. A true piece of numismatic history.

 

great gift

 

You must have been very good. Congrats. I'd like to own one too.

 

That’s a HOLY MOLLIE

 

Learned your lesson well. Sometimes we need a good kick in the pants
