    It's an interesting question, some collectors have more than hundreds of thousands of regular priced coins and some just have a lot but really expensive ones. If you have a picture of the coin, please share :smile

    This isn't a coin but a token. It's probably the most valuable (highest priced) item I have in my collection. About $200 in this condition.

    I just knew Redwin would show up in this thread. Although this time, it was actually warranted. I still say you should have taken the seven million. :confused:

    I'm not sure as I don't keep track of values because it doesn't interest me. The highest price I've ever paid for a coin was about $1200, and it's neither silver or gold.

    I keep an Excel spread sheet on purchases, just because I can get rather anal about collecting. :)

    I sold most of my collection and was left with low priced stuff so I have nothing to show.

    Either a raw '99 WAM pulled from a CWR (MS63RD or better) or my '83-CC 63DMPL.

    Most expensive coin I own is actually two, as they are worth the same. They are 1/10 oz AGE 2010 & 2011. Will have a 2012 added to the mix later this year. Otherwise, I keep all my coin purchases below $50 (besides ASEs, be it proof or sets). I think the most I've paid for a non-PM coin was an 1802 Half Cent and it was $40. Typically I don't even go over the $10 mark unless the coin has a PM in it.

    I am guessing its a VF 1795 Flowing hair dollar. One of the few slabs I own, (PCGS). I haven't looked at it in maybe 7 years.

    Most expensive coin I care about? Maybe my avatar I bought in honor of my mother.

    For me it would have to be my 1864 s seated liberty quarter that i got last Christmas, my Grandfather didn't know what he had here and gave it to me. :D Sorry for the bad pictures, they are the old ones I had.
