I don't have any pics because I don't own it anymore, but I had a Roosevelt Dime 1970(my birth year) in PCGS PR66(I think) and I paid $5.00 for it.

1Mike1 · July 27, 2018 9:42PM

$5 don't have a photo.

GRANDAM · July 27, 2018 9:45PM

I just won a 10 coin auction for these SP70FS Nickels at a cost of $6.19 ea

TommyType · July 27, 2018 10:45PM

2007P PCGS MS-66 Washington "Presidential Dollar". Actually bought it in a B&M for $6.00, so you may need to tack on some tax.

No pics...because if I'm going to break out the camera, it will be for something more significant than this....

LincolnCentMan · July 27, 2018 10:58PM

As far as I can remember, I paid $11 for a 1977-S PCGS PR69DCAM about fifteen years ago. I still have it.

I can't remember. I've bought and sold so many coins over the years. I currently have a 1914 France 25 centimes NGC MS-67 that I bought at our local B&M bid board for $20 !!!

Nice coin for $25.

thefinn · July 28, 2018 1:38AM

PCGS PR69 1964 Kennedy half fully mirrored with no hint of cameo for $8.50.

Azurescens · July 28, 2018 2:42AM

I was getting a ton of $0.99-$3 and some $5 slabs of silver Roosevelt dimes, a few quarters, some nickles, and three walkers. Guy had amazing prices and then got popular and known, so those .99 cent auctions everyone used to skip aren't skipped anymore. My eye just twitched.

Type2 · July 28, 2018 4:43AM

I think I picked these up for like $70 for the lot.

BillJones · July 28, 2018 4:52AM

My records show that I have a few modern type coins for which I paid $9.50. I bought them to complete a U.S. type set of coins on the registry ATS. Here are photos of one of them, 1995-S cent in NGC PR-69, Ultra Cameo.

StrikeOutXXX · July 28, 2018 5:46AM

No pics, but for resale, I’ve bought hundreds of modern proof 69DCAM PCGS 1/5/10 cent coins most for $1, some $2 on siriusauctions. They sell quick at my shows for $5. Quarters/halves I usually get for about 4-5 and sell at 8.

Think the cheapest group I bought was on the BST about 7-8 years ago, one of the dealers suggested they get their key date coins graded out of an old Whitman album. Customer took the advice literally and sent every coin in on his own. Yes... even the ones worth 15 cents lol. I think I got like 45 slabs of basically pocket change wheaties for $20 lol. Donated those to the YNs so they had their first slabbed coin.

mustangmanbob · July 28, 2018 6:05AM

INB Certified 1948-P "Full Red" MS69 (Not)

Paid 1 cent for it.

I had bought some stuff from a guy, and he did not want it, and I did not want it, and he was just going to bust it out and spend it, so I offered the 1 cent for the 1 cent, and he took it.

ricko · July 28, 2018 6:20AM

No picture, but I purchased a '51 Franklin, PCGS MS67 for $8 at a show in Seattle many years ago. Cheers, RickO

johnny9434 · July 28, 2018 7:29AM

i got a ngc sample slab with a 1962 roosevelt dime in it for $3 a few years ago.

Batman23 · July 28, 2018 7:48AM

I'll take it back another century here... I picked up this 1875 Indian cent for $5.15 shipped earlier this year. Looks nicer in hand than my cell phone photo shows... but what does one expect for a FR02. I'm sure someone lost some money on this one along the way.

CCGGG · July 28, 2018 8:19AM

I don't have it anymore (or a picture) but it was a Sacagawea dollar in a PCGS MS 69 graded slab, if I remember correctly. I didn't really want it but picked it up with some other stuff in a trade deal. (bunch of mixed slabs) and wouldn't value it at more than $5 (if that). I finally got rid of it on anther bulk trade deal. Often thought about just cracking it out and spending it. Not sure why anyone would pay good money to get it encapsulated.

divecchia · July 28, 2018 8:24AM

The 1943-S cent graded MS67 CAC is the cheapest coin that I have bought to date.

I paid around $200 for it.

asheland · July 28, 2018 8:34AM

No pictures, but I seem to recall paying $5 for moderns. Proofs, etc.

BillDugan1959 · July 28, 2018 8:58AM

No ready photos, but bought some (a dozen?) of the early ATB quarter dollars in silver, 69 grades, PCGS, at $6 or $7 each. I don't remember, I might have been drinking beer while surfing eBay.

BStrauss3 · July 28, 2018 9:47AM

Bought several from dealers $3/$5/$10 junk boxes st shows. Only one stands out: PCGS slabbed Goodacre Sac $1...

Regulated · July 28, 2018 9:51AM

I bought this at a recent show from someone who paid $9 for it. I let him triple up, then I ended up tripling up, as well:

WOW @Elemint .....Congrats! Was it done during late hours?

jmlanzaf · July 31, 2018 8:40AM

Got a free one from a dealer this week. He threw it in on a lot I was buying. I sold it on eBay for $4.25 + shipping. A gazillion% profit!

I routinely buy modern coin grade misses in the $1 to $2 range.

Coinstartled · July 31, 2018 9:12AM

Not the cheapest..but I recently landed this for a twenty dollar bill.

i knew it was true, but after reading this post, it really just hit me, you guys are in a different stratosphere than i am, $200 for 1 coin is a major purchase for me...lol

mt_msla · July 31, 2018 10:18AM

Step close kids and I'll show you all how 50 cents can look like sixteen dollars.

Back in 2006 I started a Lincoln Cent Proof Collection, I had 1937-2008. I couldn't find a 1936 that I liked so I sold them all.

I bought the 1990-2008 Lincolns (PCGS PR69DCAM) for about $5-$6 each.
Bought them from L&C which banned me from purchasing in 2008, thank you by the way.

Sonorandesertrat · July 31, 2018 12:20PM

$75 for a silver PCGS66 Ike, which I then removed from its slab and put into a Dansco 7070 album.

Colonialcoin · July 31, 2018 12:33PM

The cheapest slabbed coin that I have ever bought cost me around $250. I have seen slabs for a $1or $2 at coin shops but they are mainly things in third or lower tier slabs. I guess that I could buy one just to buy a cheap slab but why would I spend $1-2 on a penny that is pocket change.

They said I had too many returns. I return coins with spots and scratches.

PerryHall · July 31, 2018 1:48PM

I didn't buy it but I saw a PCGS AU-58 common date Buffalo nickel at a coin show for $7. It was a beautiful full luster coin that had the look of a MS-65 or better. The person who submitted it was certainly expecting a much higher grade.

TwoSides2aCoin · July 31, 2018 1:49PM

$1

2005 D Bison Nickel 5 Cents MS 65 In NGC Holder

Sold recently on ebay for $2.25 in spirited bidding. So, after fees, I netted $.32
I am sure it made a collector very happy. (it's not always about the money)

Then they shouldn't sell garbage.
Good move, getting banned by idiots

ChrisH821 · July 31, 2018 2:03PM

Bought a couple rattle holder dime samples for I think $2.50 each recently. Otherwise a rattle holder PR65 (1961?) Franklin half out of a dealer's $5 bargain bin, that was back in the late 90's I think.

COCollector · July 31, 2018 6:35PM

$17 in January 2016.

I've had lotsa steelies with die cracks but none with cuds

jtlee321 · August 1, 2018 5:38AM

I picked these up for $1.50 each, not too long ago.

COCollector · August 1, 2018 5:53AM

Free slab at a Colorado Show.

Profit? Not so much...

DrBuster · August 1, 2018 6:25AM

I think I have a couple NGC ms69 ASEs I spent maybe $6/ea on back in 99/2000 maybe. Actual coin is a Anacs Ike proof 65/6/7 (can't remember) that was like $8 maybe.

oih82w8 · August 1, 2018 6:40AM

A 1985-D Kennedy Half in PCGS MS66...sorry no image of the coin at all.

TwoSides2aCoin · August 9, 2018 8:56AM

I see some good picks, after reviewing this thread.

What is the cheapest slabbed coin you ever paid?
