<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 8276086, member: 135271&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Having been a member of this forum for a few months now, I&#039;ve seen a tremendous amount of variety in the ancient coins posted here - everything from stunning, flawless gold coins and extremely rare coins to inexpensive barely recognizable coins, and everything in between. It&#039;s one of the fun things about being a member here.</p><p><br /></p><p>This got me to thinking, what would the numbers look like if we took a poll showing what the most you&#039;ve ever spent on a coin was? Would the majority of users top out at $200? $500? $1,000? $5,000? or more?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe there are more bottom feeders here than all the beautiful coin photos suggest. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For myself, I would probably rank toward the bottom; the most I&#039;ve ever spent on an ancient coin was $520 for this Tiberius denarius:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1461186[/ATTACH]</p><p>(dealer photo)</p><p>Tiberius AD 14-37. Denarius (AR; 17-18mm; 3.71g; 12h) Lugdunum AD 16-21. TI CAESAR DIVI - AVGVSTVS Laureate head of Tiberius to right. Rev. PONTIF - MAXIM Female figure seated right, holding long vertical sceptre in right hand and branch in left, on chair with plain legs above double line. Very fine. Corrossion on both sides. Nicely toned. BMCRE I p. 125, 34 and pl. 22.22; C. 16; mt 2008-01 p.135 # 2 (this coin illustrated); RIC I2 p. 95, 26.</p><p><i>From the A.K. coll.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>I suspect that there are many here who&#039;ve spent way more than that, and those for whom $50 is nearing the limit. Cast your vote and let&#039;s find out!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Edit to clarify: The intent isn&#039;t to create a bragging contest; I just was curious to see where lies the average &quot;max price limit&quot; for the members here. The votes are anonymous, so you don&#039;t have to post explicitly what you paid for a coin, although I don&#039;t mind a bit if you do.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
