Presumably many of the people on this forum buy and/or sell PCGS graded coins. Just the economics of submitting and shipping such coins makes a $50 coin somewhat on the cusp of reasonability. (I think coins worth under $200 in a slab is just plain stupid, though unexpected lower grades happen.)
Most I've ever spent for a coin was $440 earlier this year for this clipped Seated half. I'd guestimate at least 90% of the coins in my main collecting areas have cost me less than $50 each.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Oh, and if you count my NGC MS-63 1924 as a numismatic purchase, that one was $640
