$1000 apiece fo a couple of large cents, and then $660 for another one.

$735, but it was straight from the mint, so there wasn't too much risk.

About $6200, 1889-CC Morgan NGC AU55PL. It was yummy.

9,500, 2nd most was $6,500

of course if you take inflation into account, i might of spent more on certain coins back in the '80s, & in terms of % of income, i spent WAY more in the late 1970s

i'll add that, given larger resources of $$$, there's no limit on what i would spend.

$300 for a Proof 1889 3 cent nickel a few years ago. It made PF-64 at ANACS. These days I won't spend over ~$50 on a raw coin though.

Brings back memories----bought a 1871 CC twenty in Xf condition for 2750 about 1977. Wonder what it would bring today?? Bob [supertooth]

8700.00 in 1979...Since slabs have taken over the most I have spent raw was a little over 7300.

Edited to add...I would still pay just as much for a raw coin as I would for the same coin in a slab.

$350, for a token. It also was the most expensive coin/token I've purchased.

Dismeguy · August 1, 2005 11:56AM

$4500 for a cleaned and retoned AU 1872-CC dime. In the end it made ANACS Net EF40 and was sold for $6000.

Replacement coin for my registry set 1922-D Lincoln Cent at NGC. Was a 1922-D PCGS Weak D that PCGS wouldn't allow on there registry as it was a Weak D and not a regular 1922-D. Sold the Weak-D for 5K and purchased a regular 1922-D PCGS MS-64 RED Lincoln for the set $625.00. Had also sold my 1909 VDB MS-65 Brown (MY ICON coin FULL BLUE OBVERSE) at the Heritage Sale in St Louis MO in June for $300 and bought a 1909 VDB MS-66 RED for $160. Isn't coin collecting FUNreally enjoyed upgrading.

I'll have to amend my last post (long day on the truck) didn't read the post close enough. $104.00 for a replacement for the 1922-D Weak D just a couple of weeks ago. Bought a full red example is in for grading at this time hoping for another winner. This coin will be a keeper though.

$220 for a 1904 $2.50 gold peice. it should be a MS 60 grade coin. maybe higher

D · August 1, 2005 1:49PM

112$ for a PL Morgan.

Julian, that's the J-1776? If so, well spent

$450 for a raw 1916-S Saint on ebay (yikes!). I was a foolish beginner and probably wouldn't do it again. Luckily it was genuine and now resides in PCGS plastic graded AU50. So I did OK afterall.
