What is the highest price that you have ever paid for a coin.....and which one?

$2200 for an ANACS G4 Chain Cent. An expensive coin on my budget.

I am a lightweight. Paid $1040 for an 1892-O Barber Half that I flipped for a nice loss of $200.00! Yeah I know it is supposed to go the other way, but I wanted to make sure another collector got a good deal like all those nice Ebay sellers who swear that the coin is a point higher than stated on the slab, but they just want the buyer to make all the money upon resubmitting to a grading service.

Lowest price I paid for a kick ass coin was $20.00 for my VF25 1910 Barber half worth at least $150.00. 1910 Barber half

Tyler - I'll send to a check for $60 for the 1910 half.

Just think; you can triple your money !!! Offer ends Jan 1, 2080.

The most I've ever paid for a coin is this 1902 PCGS PR67CAM Barber Quarter. 1902 is a really difficult CAM year for Barber Quarters.

I could have purchased a brand new GEO Metro with the money I used to purchase the coin. The coin is beautiful; GEO Metros suck!

1932-d Washington PCGS MS65 for.... um, alot. (at least I purchased it 2 years ago!)

Oh, almost forgot to mention the 1933 $20 St. I picked at auction last year.

The finest known 1849-C Open Wreath Gold Dollar--one of just four known. Paid well into six figures and it was later sold for a reported $500,000. It will be on display at the upcmoing Charlotte ANA show. While not as well known as a 1913 NIckel or 1804 dollar, it is a rarer coin and it is a legitimate issue with no sense of "mystery."

Six years ago, I paid into the 6 figures for the 1875-S PCGS MS-67 liberty type II $20. I never regretted that purchase. I still have it.

$800 for a 1898 MS65 DMPL Morgan (NGC). I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Some of you guys are real big spenders. I can't imagine buying a coin worth more than my car.

2 MS60 High Relief Saints 1 has the flat rim $5500 each a few years ago. Sweet Pieces.

greghansen

$4,000 for the attached 1870 NGC PR67 3-cent silver. An I don't even collect the damn things.

Ryan, after your post about your 32 d quarter in 65 purchased 2 years ago [great timing by the way] were you tempted to put it on the auction block after heritage auctioned off the 66 last year for 10 x bid ? I'm sure even if you weren't tempted to do so that auction probabley put a big smile on your face only second to the smile of the owner who was selling that 66 !!!
