<p>[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1950935, member: 37498"]$200 each for a couple of ATB 5 oz coins when silver was a little higher than it is today. Edit: Oops, I forgot that I do have a nice $2.50 Gold Indian that I paid just over $300 for. 2nd Edit: Crud, I also forgot about the Gold Sovereign that I bought for my wife for around $400. I guess I spend more on coins than I realize. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The most I've paid for a clad/copper coin was $25 for a good example of a flying eagle cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't really go for the rare coin thing.
