Post A Coin You Spent Exactly $1000.00 On (juice not included)

A Nice Round Number and sort of a gateway into "real" coins, post a coin you spent *Exactly* $1000 for. That can be an auction bid I'm not adding in juice or a BIN stc as long as its $1000. Post a Grand Coin! My new baby was a stacks buy for an even Grand so he's a Grand Baby.

I have 538 entries in my inventory and none of then equal exactly $1000.00.

$1,000 even.

checked my records, I have just one: PCGS XF40 (purchased raw)

crypto79 · February 9, 2013 5:17AM

I feel this was a very good deal at 1k (well $1050)

I have three. Two are darkside and one is an 1854-S gold dollar that came in the mail today.

SAM5969 · February 9, 2013 6:02AM

1914 Half Dollar PCGS XF40. Private Sale 2 yrs ago; $1000

DennisH · February 9, 2013 7:01AM

Exactly $1000 several years ago:

Nice Dennis..

The result of sitting in a live auction and thinking "what the heck..."
I look smarter now because gold has more than quadrupled since then.

keyman64 · February 9, 2013 7:28AM

None for me but I do like what Ambro opened the thread with. That 1913 is cool too! Nice 1857 variety as well! Cool thread although it will be very tough to participate.

Walkerguy21D · February 9, 2013 7:47AM

Destined to be the junkiest looking coin posted in this thread......$1000 even about 2 years, which was slightly less than I paid for the '39/6 in VF and slightly more than I paid for the Poor/Fair '93 Liberty Cap, all from the same old time large cent collection:

No pic available, as it sold after a brief hold. 1891-CC $10 PCGS AU-55 OGH.

jayPem · February 9, 2013 11:41AM

Pretty much 1K (shipped

) ....a real beauty, from Coinleuitenant

Lakesammman · February 9, 2013 11:46AM

Paid exactly $1000 for each of these at the FUN show this year.

CircOnly · February 9, 2013 11:35PM

Sorry, I don't own any "real coins".

Baley · February 10, 2013 12:58AM

Exactly $1k several years ago

BillJones · February 10, 2013 1:03AM

I paid exactly $1,000 for 1889 gold dollar in PCGS MS-64. It is very, very high end for that grade. I've seen pieces in MS-66 holders that were not as nice.

MFH · February 10, 2013 1:06AM

You can learn a lot from a thread like this...
I know nada about Half Dimes, I had no idea
the were any ( unless its a rare die variety )
that were worth $1K in AU.

I had one coin I bought (since sold ) that cost $1,000.
It was at a FUN show six or seven years ago, at the
A.N.R. / Stack's table about the time they merged.

I spotted a coin that I had never come upon in AU 58
for my Barber Half collection - an absolutely beautiful :

A little over the price range, purchased a 1918/7-D buffalo in an ANACS VG-8 holder for $1,200 a couple months ago. The coin had fine details so I cracked it out and sold it to a dealer looking for an overdate for a client for $2,000.

Eagleguy · February 10, 2013 2:04AM

I only have one.

grip · February 10, 2013 2:47AM

Forgot this old friend ,bought it about 2001, 67FB with clashed dies.Two for the price
of one

GeorgeKellogg · February 10, 2013 2:57AM

Only one coin comes to mind--an 1847-D quarter eagle, PCGS XF40 OGH. Unfortunately, I haven't had the coin photographed (yet).

I purchased the piece at my very first ANA, the 1993 event in Baltimore. I had a great time, spending four nights in the Lord Baltimore, as I recall. The event was really special for me: My Dad and I flew to the show together and we had a lot of time to enjoy each other's company. Not to make the story maudlin, but Dad was ill (and nobody knew). He was diagnosed with lung cancer days after returning and we lost him a couple of months later.

Back to the coin. It was a prooflike piece, not crusty like most of my Dahlonega coins are, but really intrigued me. Now it has so much sentimental value that I could never sell it. It was priced at exactly $1,000, which was the threshold for a tax-free transaction. I didn't do any haggling, as a lower price would have triggered the sales tax.

Dad was working on a set of Philly No Motto half eagles, 1838-1861, mirroring the Dahlonega Mint's years of production. Dad bought a really nice 1846 $5, PCGS XF45 OGH, with beautiful coloration. I'm thinking it's "gold bean quality" today.

We had great food, drank Bass Ale exclusively, and took a side trip to Gettysburg. I also bought an original King Farouk auction catalog from numismatic literature dealer Charles Davis. All in all, the 1993 Baltimore ANA is one of my favorite numismatic memories.

TennesseeDave · February 10, 2013 3:10AM

I am enjoying this thread, however I can't post a coin. I have no coins that cost me exactly $1000 and have only paid more than that twice. I'm a player in the $100-$500 field mostly.

grip · February 10, 2013 3:15AM

George;thanks for the story.It was a pleasant read.

I have this Bustie listed as costing me $1000 total, including shipping, crossover from NGC to PCGS, and the CAC sticker. It is R4+. My records do not show what I originally paid for a coin without the juice, without shipping, and without other costs to get the coin into its present holder.

Priller · February 10, 2013 4:18AM

$1,000 in 2010
XF45 CAC

GAB · February 10, 2013 4:34AM

How about EXACTLY $2000 for these 2:

1836 O-120 R4- PCGS MS61

:
1836 N-4 R3 PCGS MS64BN

nice over date

Terrible pic, but you get the idea

notwilight · February 10, 2013 11:10PM

Bought as a PCGS 63, upgraded to 64

Catbert · February 11, 2013 12:20AM

This coin is extremely difficult to photograph, but it is amazing to see in hand. Here are my crappy pics:

Photo courtesy of Blu62vette. Not quite a grand but as close as I can get. Guess I can't read directions very well.

AU53 (obverse scratch is on the holder which is really beat)
