    My most expensive coin is only a couple hundred dollars, but my dad has put together a collection of 57 g-vf 1938-d half dollars.

    The most I have paid for a coin was just under One hundred dollars for a worn out CC Morgan. The most I have sold one for was $900 for an 1894 Canadian half dollar.
    The most expensive coin I own is worth a few dollars more.;)

    Just in case you're curious about what a 1909-S VDB brings on Ebay, in a condition slightly lower than yours (uneducated guess since the sellers pics are poor), then checked this out:

    Ribbit :)

    Ps: If anyone wants to bid on that one, go for it. I just bought my first DBD and it broke me so I don't have any money left to try and snipe this S-VDB. :D

    I have posted pics of it so many times that I figure most folks are tired of it by now. But then I forget, not everyone has been around here all that long. So, here ya go - it is believed to be the finest known. Cavalier D'Or, Netherlands, Flanders, Count Louis De Male, 1364

    BTW - all you have to do see a portion of what used to be my collection is click on my user name and look at the albums. Every so often I will take down the current pics and replace them with others.

    I got a $10 gold 1881 lib. I traded a metal detector and cash for it. Its probably au 50+. So that is my obvious most valuable, however, I have a pilgrim 1920 commemorative half that I'm getting slabbed from segs (just to see what it is) I'm hoping its ms 65 but I doubt it, it does have excellent eye appeal. I'm a little worried it may have been cleaned. I paid $50 for it years ago, so no matter what I win. I also have a 1913 $2.5 that I really think is ms 63+ so I'm sending it away also. Those are my good ones.

    Toad:
    Nice coin: that 1909 S VDB, unusual slabbing tho.

    " 1909 S VDB Lincoln Cent VF-25. The coin is the Rarest Key Date And is Highly Sought After. It is encapsulated and has been in a safe deposit box for many years. It shows Great Details of the Front And Reverse. "

    a 2X2 is a slab?
