OK, we've seen the thread about what's the most expensive coin you've held, but how about the most expensive coin you own?

This way we can all see pics too! image

    It was a 1947 walker in PCGS 66. But I've since sold it. Right now my most valuable coin is, I think, around $150 or so.

    I think it is probably the following, but I have another 2 that must be close.

    My most expensive coin is an AU 1900 Half Eagle - I inherited it from my uncle who carried it with him on his travels throughout the world - so the sentimental value is much higher.

    I purchased a '64 Accented Hair PCGS Pr67 D/C Monday which I believe is my most expensive. It's the little brother to Russ' and Edson's Pr68 D/C. Their coin's older brother, the 69 D/C, is out there somewhere, but every time I check the orphanages, they tell me that Russ, Marty and Ken have already been there. image

    A '72-S Seated dollar in AU-50. But my favorite expensive coin is my '77 Indian in PCGS XF-45. These are exceptions - the vast majority of my collection is composed of coins worth $100 or less.

    It is a close tossup between my icon coin (NGC PF65 Ultra Cam 1895 quarter eagle) and a PCGS AU53 1803 Eagle...

    BTW, I really like that 1849 quarter Rella...

    I paid the most for my 1793 cap cent but my 1799 1c is probably worth as much followed close by my 1793 wreath then my chain. none of those are worth more than $2K, I have owned coins worth much more.

    It will depend on the grade I get back from PCGS on the proof cameo 1950 Franklin I'm waiting on.

    Either that one or a 95-S Morgan in PCGS 64.

    I'm hoping the grading gods smile on me and it will be the Frankie by a considerable amount.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    My most expensive used to be my 1877 25c NGC MS64 quarter w/ gorgeous toning... but with the rise of gold, I think my 1908 NM PCGS MS63 $20 St. Gaudens is about the same.

    1793 Chain Cent (America rev.). I purchased this coin in 1977. In the early 80's I misplaced it.
    Found it in 1996 in my pigeonhole desk safe and sound in a cotton sleeve inside a small envelope.
