Post your favorite coin purchase in 2015 that cost $50 or less

One of the things I really like about coin collecting is that you can do it for not much cost. Coin collecting totally spans the spectrum of coin values, from ultra rarities that cost millions of dollars, to coins you can pull out of pocket change for face value. Post your favorite coin purchase of 2015 that cost you $50 or less. Here's mine, it cost me $10.

Not US but Irish...

way, way, way too many to count. I do not even remember what I bought earlier in the year. I just looked through my history and found this from a month ago.






$37 for a Proof Sac PR69 PCGS Mint Error

I have quite a few. This will require some thought but I might wait until I get grades/TrueViews back before I post a few.

I think this piece is pretty cool. I like the detail and workmanship which is much nicer than other fantasies of this style.


It was sold with a set of other Whitehead & Hoag Confederate lead die trials. The others went for about $200-300 but this sold for just around $10.

My bargain of the year -- an 1854 Great Britain Farthing (1/4 penny).











Found it in this box at an arts & crafts rummage sale.







Yup, I got the whole box (50 coins) for $10.

Not my prettiest by far, but an MPL for $30 ain't bad.

Now sold, unfortunately, but it was this; $25. I've wanted a MS barber half for quite some time, so you can imagine my delight when this popped up for a song.

Interesting to note that there are still people out there who would grade this coin F-VF....lol.

I found a 1943 Merc dime in a coinstar reject bin in Scottsdale, Arizona in August.

AU58... can't beat free. Cheers, RickO

This money clip....sterling silver, diamond in a 14k frame, and a well loved 1899 IHC....silver and gold marks on the back...great deal for under $50 IMHO.

Believe it or not I picked up this beautiful 1950 proof Jefferson for $50.00 shipped.

This one was right around $50.

MS67+ pop 5/0.

It was part of a raw incomplete Roosevelt set I bought for under $50. Home run!

Shamika

The Whitehead & Hoag Confederate lead die trial is uber cool!

Meltdown

I've got so many under $50 buys, it's very hard to pick just one!
Here's a couple of my more recent purchases...

I bought this raw for $50 -


I got this 1956 Proof set for $50 - I really like it.

$50 or less purchase...hmm...nope can't post anything on this thread. Although there have been some great purchases in previous images!



I love Meltdown's 1884-O Morgan! tone

If I had to choose an under $50 coin that's still in my collection, and that I haven't sold, it's probably this one:

ElmerFusterpuck

This is definitely one of them:

jerseycat101

$36 for this raw on ebay

Yorkshireman

Here is mine:

A $40 purchase from Mike Kittle of Kittle Coins.
While it is from the dark side, this is a neat piece of history.

DennisH

$31 delivered.
Once upon a time (before the TPGs figured out they were counterfeit) one of these in a PCGS F12 holder sold for $1,515.

Thanks! I agree and was very happy to pick it up. I think lead die trials are cool and love the angled / cut planchet

Browe

This one was a $5 pick of eBay turned into a PCGS AU50BN Doubled Die Obverse (FS-101). Currently in my registry. Sorry I have the worst time taking pictures of brown copper in slabs!

Meltdown

I paid $8 for this 1970 Proof set over the summer.

ChrisH821

First post for me here.

Picked up this Franklin in a $20 proof set. The cellophane was real hazy but I could tell there was something special in there.







And this cool 1965 SMS dime with very strong die clash for $6.50 for the set. Sorry about the blurry pics on this one.
