Come on...... We all have one ...... Post a coin that you paid "Moon Money" for. (for some

PQType

Here is mine. Its a MS 64 and for some reason I just had to have it. 3 years later still no regrets. And yes it looks better in hand

(I'm more than a month behind with photographs )

over the past several months I've been buying a number of really sharp commems at presumed attractive prices from several sources (including BST- bunches in fact) .....until I've seen the results of recent auctions... yikes! ....

many of the coins out there have been unappealing, to me at least;

I like what I've gotten (price vs quality vs grade), but it looks like I've paid up for some really nice coins, relative to recent transactions .....

so, while it may not be "moon money", the sheer volume of activity puts me in high earth orbit, perhaps...

that being said, several are going out for regrading.

A very nice coin but only an MS64.

Wait..........is this the "Moon Money" thread or the "stupid money" thread?

I have a 1964 peace dollar but I cannot show you guys a pic

It's darkside, but I'm pretty sure I set a new record for a Edw. VII halfpenny. It's the only one graded 66 in the whole series.

I thought i had found the type II in a pile of spare change at my grandma's... but no such luck. Just a type 1. I'll be on the look out for those now... maybe I'll cherrypick one!

OUCH!

doh

Not sure about MOON money, but I definitely paid very STRONG money for this, but I love it, so it's okay.

LanLord

Please define moon money

jmcu12

the op might disagree but to me moon money is paying X amount for a coin when others could be had for half or 25 percent.

"you love it but you know there is no way you will get that money out of it."

Justacommeman

If you mean reached for a coin, then yes...... guilty as charged and happy as a clam

LOL, I don't know if I'll ever learn to like photos in the pronged slabs.

If you can't find one, I'll be happy to let you pay "Moon Money" for one of my spares!



Or if you prefer, you can pay "Stupid Money" for this one??

Bear

But, but....I paid stupid money for all of my coins.

Whatever coin you feel you paid a premium or a high premium to acquire. For each of us it is different, I for one do not think an extra $25 for a $100 coin overpaying if it a coin that I will enjoy owning. I guess "Moon Money" is what ever a collector thinks it is for them.

Not "moon" money, but I just paid pretty strongly for this in the last Heritage Auction. Now that I have it in-hand, it was well worth it! I feel it is a lock 55 and shot 58 if re-submitted. However, I like the way the green bean sticker looks against the old green PCGS label background....

....and here's the link to my thread from a week and a half ago regarding this coin.

Ha... only if i had $450 for it... naw i'm fine with the proof collection I have so far. of the Ike dollars.. but did not pay "moon money" for the "moon dollars" most i paid was for a PR69 1973 silver

I paid very strong premiums for these two puppies, but I absolutely love them!

mheffner2

if a trip to the moon were cheap everybody would take one. Tradedollarnut had the single most beautiful T$1 I've ever seen.

LostSisler

You didn't say that it had to be a "Full Moon" lol

Elcontador

I have paid too much money for a properly graded coin, and paid too much money for imo, an overgraded coin. But I've never paid moon money for anything, nor do I plan to do so.

coinsarefun

Not quite moon money but both were definitely strong money

blu62vette

TDN- is that one being displayed at the ANA? It is rediculous!!

Moon money is a relative term for people. This is not moon money for most, but the weekend I bought it I should not have been buying coins, but you know how that goes. paid strong for it, worth it all.

TheNoost

Could have gotten one of these for a little more than 1/2 of what I paid. I like it though.

It's money, and it has The Moon on the reverse

Paid over one and a half times as much for mine than this one is listed for.

But I still don't consider it moon money. Try finding a nicer 1851 (for sale) for cheaper.

commoncents05

It wasn't probably moon money, but definitely strong money at the time when I bought this. PCGS PR64RB.

Here's another one I definitely paid moon money for!

And one last one that was quite expensive, close to moon money, but the violet magenta blue blast mirrors just got to me! The mirrors truly are perfectly crisp, clear and bright but that brightness was doesn't show up well in a photo. This is one of the pretties proofs I've seen, really.

BECOKA

Not sure it was moon money but it was a significant premium:

PQType

Great Coins,Great Comments, I love this place.... thanks for making my day everyone.

BECOKA

Here is another, just a small premium but definitely one I would not nickel and dime the dealer as there is so much crud that has been dipped cleaned etc in the same grade.

DUIGUY

Not a coin but fought hard for this AU example.

silverdollarfitz

here is my "moon money" also the most I've paid for a coin so far... so a double ententre if you will...




... not the best pics... but its with my phone so not bad right?

I paid very strong money for this coin:



Note: I don't mean I paid strong money for another example of this variety. I mean I paid strong money for the actual coin pictured on the cover of the book.

littlebear

Truly an excellent thread! Thanks everyone for the phenomenal photos!

Just need to release here.

Earler this week, I bid $380 on a coin that should sell for about $250. I thought that would surely be enough but was outbid, with the high bidder(s) at $430.

So I put in a "nucular" bid and now have it at over $575 with a couple of days left, and room for my proxy. Obviously, I want the coin and I'm going to lay an egg if I'm outbid....both due to the relief that I'll feel over getting out of this, and the fact that I know I'll have to reach even more.

OK, I really don't feel better. Uggg.

TwoSides2aCoin

It's not quite moon money, but a little more than lunch money.
