<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 26121618, member: 68&quot;]I&#039;ve never paid much for a coin, any coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; World coins were rarely over 20 or $40 with 5 or $10 being more in my comfort range. But I&#039;ve been lucky and collected at the right time so I have lots and lots of coins that sell for pretty good money. I haven&#039;t sold many yet and know from experience that just because a coin is &quot;worth&quot; $2000 it doesn&#039;t mean you can get it, especially with the oddball stuff I bought.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the most I&#039;ve paid was about $45 for a really nice Puerto Rican 40 C in VF that I traded off for a couple hundred dollars.&nbsp; It&#039;s a nice coin to own at any price.&nbsp; The biggest mistake I made was passing a startling Gem 1797 British cartwheel for a song.&nbsp; I passed on some really great stuff because I never liked big premiums.&nbsp; When I did pay more I traded it off for things with smaller premiums.&nbsp; People thought I was nuts trading $40 coins for &quot;40&quot; $1 coins but the ones I got were ones with good potential.&nbsp;&nbsp; A lot of the excess just went into poundage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
