It's impossible for me to describe the feeling.

Russ, NCNE

It feels like a million bucks

I have know idea, but I'm sure my wife wouldn't be too happy!

First ones stressful but by the 4th or 5th one, it's just cool.

Now 250K is real cool.

Heck, I'd like to SALE a coin for a $100,000

I gets old after a couple hours of counting it over and over again.

eyoung429

Why don't you send it over this way and let me be the judge of that

It feels great, lots easier to carry around--------BigE

I got my $100,000 all in nickels to look for full steps....takes awhile to count and makes a hard bed

I don't know about $100,000,but $20,000 has ME on edge.

My first very BIG coin, 1795 silver plug flowing hair dollar in XF45.

Cool coin.

Probably better than filling up a room with $100000 worth of regular nickels and swimming in it.

nwcs

I'll never know.

khayse

I'll let you know when I get there.

It's a lot better than carrying around those 10 million pennies.

mdwoods

Or probably a lot easier to carry around than 100,000 in gold.

For me, at this time expensive [impossible actually]; for other forums members [and Bill Gates], it is pocket change.

I don't think I'll ever know.

Poppy

I will let you know as soon as I hit powerball

coinbuf

I cannot even afford to hold one worth that much

If Cadillacs were a nickel a piece, all I could do is sit on the curb and say "DAMN....... THAT'S CHEAP"!!!!!!!!!!

What... you mean I'm not the only one who's done that? My psychologist thought I was nuts. I feel so much better now.

I know what it's like to sell a collection and get a check for $100,000. I guess that's not the same though.

Oh, it is fairly ho-hum. You buy it, then it quickly goes to a safety deposit box. It is much more fun to plunk down a cool $270,000 for that new Ferrari and drive it off the lot. Even funner is handing your broker the down payment on your 62 foot yacht and breaking it in at Dana Point harbor.

When you are rich you get used to buying and oogling $100.000 coins. It is probably like the working man's joy at being able to attend Nascar and seeing Jeff Gordon.

Well I've held 5 of the 1804 Dollars and it was really a thrill. And much less stressful than buying anything like that!

raycyca

I know what it's like to buy a $100 coin. I bet it's about 1000 times better! Some day................... Yeah right! LOL Congratulations to those who can afford it. Thanks for sharing them with us and letting us hold them on occassion. Ray

It's all relative.

dont know, probably never will

It's not much different than any high dollar coin purchase. The only differance is with a $100,000+ coin the potential buyers are fewer.

You don't have to make your decision to buy right at that instant.

When/If you decide you want it you write out the check and take the coin in a little plastic bag out to your car and in my case put the coin in the wheel well in the trunk of my car. I proceeded to valet park my car and go play a couple sessions of BINGO ... True story ..

The coin was a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar with Three Leaves graded MS64. The price I paid was in excess of $150,000.
