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

2046.00 for a 20$ liberty head gold coin (off great collections auction, it is in ms-62,CAC, and on the same auction also bought a 5.00 gold piece in ms-62 as well for 748.00....i got a little carried away, and i think i might of thought was bidding on a 10.00 gold coin because it said half eagle, and for an insane moment i thought full eagles were the 20.00 coin, lol being inept at gold coins..and of course the hefty 12% buying fee....live and learn, numismatically they are ok, but as for spot price, not so much as gold has dropped 175 since then...

Wow. That coin is so different. I can see your excitement. Hope you slept with it under your pillow before you set it free. I am impressed.

 

Looks perfect after a few years of ware

 

Yeah you nut. More funner to give it away

 

also, was bidding on over 20k worth of coins at the time, mostly gold, about 175 lots total...figured if i shotgunned my bidding, might get something on the fly, lol

 

Most ever I spent on a coin? Shoot, I don't kiss and tell. Besides.....the wife is looking over my shoulder.

 

Nah. Just says your crazy about coins. No bragging

 

Now that Abe coin is worth pulling the plug for. Glad for you

 

Read about that coin. Interesting

 

Reckless. Your out of control

 

Tell her to give you a big wet kiss

 

I gave it to myself.

 

Your packed

 

Wow. Your well liked

 

You always give it to your favorite

 

That’s me. LOL

HA ha, I bought it for myself.

 

$6,000 for a raw 1794 S-61 large cent, AU-58 sharpness net VF-20 for some problems. Still 12th finest known. If the dealer still has it I may top that in a couple weeks. A 1793 S-9 wreath cent VF 20 details net F-12 $7,000. I some respects I hope he still has it, in some respects I hope he sold it at ANA.

 

I don't think i posted it in this thread yet, so here goes. Went into the 4th figure for the first time with this one. And my wife even knows exactly how much it cost!
