I mean even if some one offered you say double what you paid but you know you would be hard pressed to find another.

    Or would you sell any coin you own at double what you paid?

    The vast majority of my trade dollars (although I would if I had a replacement lined up, but not before).

    That is the thing all the time we put into finding our coins (hours, days months sometimes years then a coin shows up that is a LOT of time) to me is worth much more than selling at double the value unless another coin comes up I can upgrade but that rarely has happened as of yet.

    I have over 14000 coins in my collection, most of which I paid less than a dollar for and most of which could easily be replaced.

    Still not selling any of them, not even for a billion dollars. Each.

    Everything has a price is what I used to think, until I saw this comment.

    Sounds like a bogo might come into play.
    Remember when you first walked up to a counter to pay for something as your parents watched.
    Priceless.
    Other than those moments, I'd have to agree with @Glen2022. "Everything has a price".

    Very nice looking Ike dollar. Why did you hide the grade on the certificate? Did ANACS undergrade it?

    Most of my coins have doubled in value due to inflation, but I’m in for the long haul.

    Coins given to me by my parents when I was a YN. Everything else is fair game.

    I would gladly take any such offer on most of my APE's!

    No, I think I used this photo in a guess the grade contest one time and posted it instead of the one with grade showing.

    I don't have a picture, but my 2015-D Kennedy HAlf Dollar MS67 First Strike fits this bill. It's Pop 1/0 in First Strike. I paid ~$1 for the coin in a US Mint roll and about $35 in grading fees. It's irreplaceable, especially under $50.

    I only get offers for half of what I paid for everything. That's why if you want to be a millionaire in the coin business, you have to start with two million $s.

    Or maybe you just overpaid for them. ;)
