    Klectorkid--
    If memory serves, I think I saved up in junior high and bought a tradedollar that was a little bit over one hundred dollars. I wish I could remember anything about the coin. What I do remember is that I sold it back to the guy I bought it from (one of my junior high teachers) for $240 when my priorities changed from coins to buying my first car.

    I also remember buying my first multi-thousand dollar coin. I would have been in my middle thirties. An experience I doubt which will ever be repeated.

    got my first $100 coin at 12, a prooflike 1897 morgan dollar
    my first $1000 coins were a proof 1884 morgan dollar and a VF 1799 dollar, both at 33 years old.
    I don't have any $10k coins or higher, but at 34, got a $5K+ 1812 half eagle.
    the short list for my first $10K coin includes a pre-1804 eagle or half eagle, or a small eagle dollar.
    will probably never own a single coin that costs more than $50K, but I can dream image

    I've paid $43+$3 shipping for my most expensive coin... no $100 coins for a while, I don't believe.

    Are you asking when did i pay $100 or when did i get an offer over $100?

    My most expensive purchase was $64 but i have gotten offers as high as $220 for that coin so i guess it would be considered my first $100 coin bought at age 18

    I was 32 the first time I spent $100.00 on a coin, although I inherited a couple worth at least that when I was a kid (~11 or so).

    Havn't cracked the $1000 mark yet and probably won't for several years.
