Usually 300 - 500 dollars although just once I went........ well lets just say I was stricken with irrational exuberance that maybe now doesn't look so irrational
so far, top is 16,000 for a 1909 S vdb ms66rd OGH (that very well may grade as a 67, according to all who have examined it, and have the experience to form an opinion))
I paid a little north of $15 for a 1794 half dollar a couple yrs ago. Sent her back cuz seller would not let me remove from the flip to aid in authentication.
I paid a little south of $10 for an 1801 Eagle. MS details but altered surfaces. I let her go about 3 yrs ago. Kinda miss her, even with the problems.
I spent about $650 on a 1928 Saint Gaudens PCGS MS63 about 2 1/2 years ago. I sold it for about $800 and thought I did well. I should have held it for another year or two.
Technically I spent $700 for an F-12/15 1807 O-111a Bearded Goddess. The reason I say "technically" is that I was trading a coin for $1k and wanted to pick this guy up.
I'm happy I picked this coin up, but $700 to me is an ENORMOUS amount of money and I'm still kind of shocked I did it.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
With Respect, may we change this Thread to the least amount paid so I don't feel left out and can contribute and not feel cheap?Respectfully, John Curlis
Just kidding. I've purchased multiple coins over $1M [5 of them, to be exact]. The highest was the Eliasberg 1913 Liberty nickel. The scariest was the first - the Eliasberg 1885 Trade Dollar. Prior to buying that coin for $1.5M, my highest purchase had been $200k or so. Talk about sticker shock! The next few were much easier...

Otherwise, I have been much more frugal overall!
I also spent $650 on a PCGS MS65 Antietam half.

Agreed. Most of the big spenders will not answer a thread of this format.
