post your monster coin and tell how you got it ?

Did it cost you to much ? Would you buy it now at hot monster market prices ?

let's see your best monster coin pic. this is not a thread for low grade circs or blast white or easy bake oven color.











The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    This one might be considered a MONSTER. Especially for a 55 mintset piece.
    I bought the mint set, and had it graded. 55 mintsets were going for about 50.00 then, so a great deal.
    I actually bought five 55 mint sets at the time. I have one full set left, which is begging to get certified.

  • Here is my blue proof Mercury dime. I like it very much. I bought it directly from another collector. We both like cameo proof coins image

    I bought this at a premium to sheet. I would only sell it for crazy money.

  • Not really a "monster" coin, and my image is terrible, but it is pretty decent!

    Two nickels with beautiful color c/o Michael Printz/Whitlow (Buffalo 1923-S PCGS MS64) and Mark Feld/Pinnacle (3 Cent 1888 NGC MS67). I like them more today than when I bought them, always a good sign.

    Tough choice as I like them both, would I buy again at the new price levels?? Wish I could but they are worth considerably more now then when I bought them especially the 82-S which was bought for no real premium in 1986. Both are NGC * coins the first 66 the second 64.
