<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 8223697, member: 10461&quot;]In 46 years of collecting, this coin is only the third for which I have paid a four-figure price.&nbsp; And it is #3 of my lineup of most expensive to date.&nbsp; That&#039;s primarily because of what bullion has done in the last two decades, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have previously owned two other $10 Indians, and one was a 1932 PCGS MS63 OGH.&nbsp; But that was in the early 2000s, when bullion was much less expensive.&nbsp; Since the Recession, I&#039;ve largely been priced out of the market for anything larger in size than a quarter-eagle, though a recent inheritance windfall has enabled some relatively bigger-ticket purchases for the moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, my #2 most expensive coin to date arrived in the same box as this piece, and I will post it soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 was- and remains for the moment- my most expensive to date (though now sold).&nbsp; It was an <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/united-states-gold-5-dollar-half-eagle-liberty-head-type-1842-d-small-date.286722/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/united-states-gold-5-dollar-half-eagle-liberty-head-type-1842-d-small-date.286722/">1842-D half-eagle</a>.&nbsp; I sold it a couple of years ago to buy my daughter&#039;s first (used) car.</p><p><br /></p><p>This inheritance money will soon be reinvested in debt removal, and an index fund, and daughter&#039;s college and more &quot;responsible&quot; stuff like that, but you can bet your sweet patootie there&#039;s gonna be some coin splurging in the meantime! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
