The most I ever paid was $390 for an 1882 Morgan that the dealer had marked as an MS-65.

MrEureka · March 4, 2007 2:39AM

$800,000, but I've also paid as much for 950K for a coin that I cracked out and upgraded.

I bought a $20.00 Double Eagle for $295.00 advertised as UNC. years ago. It graded AU-55 by ANACS.

$150 each for two 1967 SMS Kennedys.

$900 twice

a 1913-s barber quarter in PCGS G-4

a 1913-s barber quarter in NGC G-4

both from JJ teaparty during that time they had a bunch listed on the website. One I cherrypicked from the ones available and asked if I could have $50 off when I ordered and they agreed, the other they happened to list on ebay and was superior to most of the G-4 specimens I ran across so I nabbed it up. Impulse buy really. If I crossed the NGC one over to PCGS it would probably grade G-6. I'm no millionaire so these are the two most expensive coins I own. I don't really buy for set assembly, I buy coins I like that I think are undervalued. I'm more into type collecting. I like to have nice circulated specimens from all kinds of series.

$17,000 for a Chain Cent

Trime · March 4, 2007 3:28AM

Less than Andy and John.
But they sell and I accumulate

rays · March 4, 2007 3:30AM

$10,500 for the Norweb specimen of a lettered edge wreath cent, in the JR Frankenfield sale by Superior a few years ago.

p8nt · March 4, 2007 3:30AM

$750 for a toned 1885-CC Morgan.

mrpaseo · March 4, 2007 3:38AM

I wanna say 16 dollars for an over graded "Deal" of a Buffalo.... But I can't really remember my purchases... deployment turns the brain to mush.

DennisH · March 4, 2007 3:53AM

$1000 for an AU+ 1901 Morgan VAM 3 "Shifted Eagle"... but it came with a no-bodybag guarantee if I used the $50 fast grading service at PCGS. We both lived happily ever after.

mirabela · March 4, 2007 4:15AM

$850 for a circulated early silver type coin

Hugegut · March 4, 2007 4:22AM

DNADave · March 4, 2007 4:30AM

1894 Morgan for $600 several years ago. Came back from ANACS as an F12

ARCO · March 4, 2007 4:39AM

$750.00 for a raw 1904-S Barber half in XF40.

BigMoose · March 4, 2007 4:42AM

Around $52000.00 for a gem unc. 1794 Large Cent out of Stack's Marvin Taichert Collection in 2001, S-61. Pretty sure its worth more now.

garsmith · March 4, 2007 5:32AM

$400 for a roll of circ Morgans so that's $20 each.

sold the roll for $600

tradedollarnut · March 4, 2007 5:32AM

Just under $250k

zrlevin · March 4, 2007 5:51AM

$210 for an UNC 1831 half dime

Writersblock · March 4, 2007 11:03PM

$1000 twice each time for a 1793 cent
$950 for an 1801 cent that I haven't even seen yet
$900 for another 1793 cent
$700 for an 1800 cent
Several more large cents and Conder tokens in the $300 to $600 range.

ziggy29 · March 4, 2007 11:10PM

About $600 for an 1829 half dime that later slabbed NGC MS-64.

Rodius · March 4, 2007 11:18PM

$1100 for a 1971 no s proof Jefferson still in the proof set.
$600 for a 1951 proof set

MFH · March 4, 2007 11:23PM

Bought a 1921 PDS raw set of Walkers
a few years ago - all AU 55-58 - for $12.5K

I calculated the 21-S to be valued at $6,750.

They're still raw and in my Dansco album.

ledzep87 · March 4, 2007 11:24PM

I am a small time collector.

The most that I have spent on a raw non-bullion was $75. It was for a mostly original VF35 1825 CBH.

librtyhead · March 4, 2007 11:28PM

750.00 for an 1894 p morgan about 7 yrs ago, au-55ish sitting in an album now.

Barry · March 4, 2007 11:29PM

About 10K.

walkerminus1 · March 4, 2007 11:48PM

$400 for a nice lightly toned AU 1928 Peace Dollar. Most I've ever paid for a slabbed coin...$150 for a CPHDime. I typically don't buy plastic and only own one piece that hasn't been freed from its prison. The piece I own, 1942 Walker Anacs MS-63, don't ask and I won't tell a long-winded story.

I believe my 10-year-daughter doesn't know what a TPG is and I hope she never feels the need to learn.

pb2y · March 5, 2007 12:00AM

Walker 1934 s----PCGS MS 64----$1025 .
Looks more like a 65 or 66
