Inspire collectors with small budgets to collect eye appealing coins: post your sub $50 eye appealin

mercurydimeguy

I'll start... I paid $27 for this coin already slabbed PCGS AU55.



I really have no need for this coin, but thought to buy it as a great example for newer collectors that coin collecting is not only for people who are clinically insane or have mountains of disposable cash. For the price of 2 people eating lunch somewhere you can own this coin...and it's already slabbed!



It should inspire up-and-coming collectors to search for eye appealing coins with history as they are out there, and many are already slabbed.

$20

I know, the holder itself is worth more and that was what I originally wanted, but the coin itself is actually a very nice example and worth that much even raw!

Great pick up, mercurydimeguy!

Probably because they don't spend less than $50 in their series of expertise.

Pardon the darkside interruption to this thread, but like some of the previous posters, here are a few non-U.S. sub-$50 coins. I've had quite a lot of fun collecting the "Foreign Coins Minted in the United States" series, and a whole bunch of them are under $50...

Fiji 1943-S One Penny. Minted in San Francisco for Fiji during WWII. Cost: $7 at the Baltimore Show + $25 certification = $32. Now PCGS MS66 top pop 1/0.



Bolivia 1942 Fifty Centavos. Minted in Philadelphia. Cost: $29.92 on eBay already certified PCGS MS64RB.

It's is an 1780 6 Mariengroschen, a minor of one of the Geeman States. These are familiarly referred to as "Wild Man" which is a mythical German folk character.



It is worth multiples for $50 but I found this raw in Germany for €50.

€50 is greater than $50

FadeToBlack, What a great War Nickel set.



I've been keeping my eyes open for a set and it would make my year to get one like that. Especially for that price.....dang.
