I started a .....misunderstood.... thread a while back. Trying again. Sub $200 coins.

Several comments thought I was denigrating low priced coins and it was anything BUT.

After I deleted it, some of you wished I had continued and not deleted..... B)

So.... with no aspersions cast on budget coins, these are two that I just got that I consider pretty dang good collectible TYPE COINS and ...under... $200.


Soo.... proceeding from here,please post your coins under (even WAY under) $200 and with no disrespect to any of them.

Stuff like this is VERY unlikely to be affected by much of anything I can imagine that....could.... run the "market" down.

Okay?

:)

    I don't have many coins that were under $200, but here is a neat one. Cost me $134 plus the cost of grading:

    I've never seen the problem with collecting common coins.

    A lot of very nice coins. Rather than trying to mention each one, I just gave you each a like.

    I don't have a lot of my coins imaged....and found that many I bought for "under $200" have crept up to $250 or so over the years based on the retail price guides. Probably cheating to use those!

    Here are a couple of "legal" coins under the line:

    There are some marvelous coins in this thread. I would call this a 'collector's thread' and the posters should be justly proud of their coins. Cheers, RickO

    I guess I should add some more. :)

    And I fell for the toning on this Mexican iron horse. :D

    Pretty sure I see a tiny rim clip on this coin at a 8:00. It is so small it may not even grade as an error at a TPM, but as a connoisseur of such errors, I see and appreciate it.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    My Dreck Collection that is being put together for the Grand Daughters does not have a single that has cost 200 bucks. The closest is this 1918S Mercury Dime which I have $190.00 into it with grading fees.

    I would be happy to have any of these coins in my collection. I like them all.
    Great idea for a thread.
