2009 UHR $50.00 American Gold Eagle for $1,189.00.
I had bought several one ounce gold coins for less then $1,000.00 each all are now worth more then a $1,000.00 each.

 

1859 PCGS AU55 $3 Gold Princess, wish I still had it

 

1908D no motto St. Gaudens $20 and I still have it. Only had that much to spend by selling a 1947 Mexico 50 peso (1.2 oz gold) that I bought for less than $300 and sold for $1900

Timing is everything.....and a lot of luck

 

Come to think of it...it was a 17-D type I.

 

I found an FE clashed with the $20 gold piece before folks even knew what it was. I gave only a few bucks for it but it is now worth well over a $1000.

 

1793 S-2 chain cent

 

Mine was an 1880 Trade Dollar.

 

You can easily pick up a MS67 morgan for well under $1000, especially 1881-S or 1882-S

 

Gee, it would be nice to have a grand to blow on a single coin. I haven't spent more than AUD$100 on a single coin.

 

Sold my 1982 small date zinc DDR Lincoln (my avatar) for $4000.00.
purchase price?....1 Cent

 

It is and its easy, its called sacrifice and saving

 

Wow, that certainly takes the cake. Did you find it in small change or bought it outright?

 

Me too!

 

Surely you Jest.

 

Same here.

 

hahaha I don't think my whole collection is worth $1000

 

1904 $20 Coronet Head Double Eagle
