Thank you HRH.

An excessively expensive Southern branch mint gold piece. Only D gold I've ever owned.

But I don't kiss and tell.

This one:

Bochiman

Almost $2000 for a "real" key date

RedHerring

Completed a BST trade a couple years ago for 5ozs of GAE proofs.

Sold them last fall on BST for $8700.

PerryHall

A couple of bullion deals for close to $3000 each. All were smooth transactions with well established forum members.

No doubt a Walker from cucamonga, but nothing really big.

I've tried to follow the BST, but I just don't see many early Walkers for sale there. hint hint

Somethings gold

I can think of one 3K PCGS VF-XF early dollar that I still have. I've bought/sold/brokered several bullion deals in the 5-10K range. All with established 'circle of trust' type forum members. With me it's not so much how big the deal is...its who am I dealing with. If I'm comfortable with the latter issue, I don't worry about the size of the deal.

I believe it is this coin that came "sort of" through the BST:

nankraut

I bought a bust dollar for around $3000 a year or so ago; can't even remember who I got it from now; hey, this Alzheimers is getting serious!

BillyKingsley

I believe it was $80.00, perhaps less. The spirit is willing, but the wallet isn't there!

Billet7

A 1916-D Merc from Gerard.

chumley

$4100 and I hope to meet the coin in Boston at the ana

Bought the one below with nothing more than a promise the coin was nice and a return policy. Also asked a few members to make sure the guy was good and a check was sent, I think it was ~$8k.

600.00 I Am a poor working man so thats a lot to me. The BST is a very good resource.

keyman64

Nothing yet for me...but I am new around here.....all in due time. I look forward to the opportunities of the future.

Would you also like to know my S.S. #, and my mother's maiden name?

My most expensive purchase was $500. Sold the thing for $550, so I did okay.

GoldenEyeNumismatics

probably about $4000.

DennisH

$4,500

robkool

$1,350 for a $20 gold Lib from a fairly new member...

DRUNNER

Bought a Hawaiian Commemorative for around $2500.

Great buy . .and we were both happy.

Recently bought a dozen PCGS Doilys for about the same amount . .

Also a great transaction.

Drunner

Swampboy

$371.

Bullion purchase.

WTCG

$17,000+ in one transaction a while ago, although the vast majority of my BST transactions are in the $100 - $500 range.

Bochiman

Now, flip it around and my $2000 purchase increases to having sold ~$8000 at one time.
I just try to be ultra cautious on my purchases. They aren't all stunners (most I have spent for any 1 purchase/coin has been around $3000 (multiple times)) but I like them.
I have been lucky to buy some items that really increased and have sold to board members here....new and old, but I certainly agree with posters who have said the amount isn't as noteworthy as the other end of the deal. I've been blessed to buy/sell in transactions with some of our top members (in helpfulness and knowledge and trustworthiness).

piecesofme

But whats the quickets you've sold something justa after posting it? I sold a huge Lot of State Quarters in about 4 minutes...nothing was premeditated either LOL

DrBuster

I think $250 or so on some Frankies.

crypto79

I sold several gold deals in the 1250 range but the biggest was I sold a great PL 20$ for just under $1700. Kind of miss that coin but I bought a TD$ with it so.

doh

I sold a coin for just over $7K once...I think the most I ever bought a coin for was just over $1K. All good transactions

MrOrganic

Bought $10k
