Yeah, they are pricey. Mine wasn't a 400k coins, but it was above 6 figures. I always wondered if I could have put up with her in exchange for an Eide Mar denarius.......
Nice coins ya'll! Mine's still the 1924 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle and 1910 Matte Proof Lincoln that I posted on this thread.
Thanks Rip. My dealer also had one in a couple of grades higher but the price was 5X this one. I also have an 1854 Half Penny: http://www.cointalk.com/t136056/
I'm new so don't laugh! I today purchased a 1988 Standing Liberty Eagle MS-69 graded by NGC. (Question, is that a walker? I keep hearing that word not knowing what it is.) Bought for $48.20. Okay now you can laugh!
I bought a raw MS62ish 1912 $10 Indian gold coin for $700 a couple weeks ago from a dealer that doesn't deal in US gold. Sold it for $880, and will spend the $180 I made on some coins for my type set!
What you have is an American Eagle. A "Walker" refers to a Half dollar: Walking Liberty Half Dollar- Standing Liberty Quarter-
VF-25 is a decent "starter" 1893-S Morgan. The problem with that coin in that grade is the price is all over the map. PS - you did not see MY coin at your local shop. You saw a doppleganger! HAHA!
