Most money you spent on one coin?

I recently spent $1750 on an 1862 $3 gold coin that I needed to complete my Civil War type collection. This is the most I have ever spent on a single coin. What is the most money that you have spent on a single coin?

Bought this coin in the mid 80's for $175, how much did I pay for it in todays $ (sorry for the bad image, I will re-do later)?
Thanks as always,

Are you interested in buying??
I'm desperate for cash and you can have the coin for half of your estimate (free shipping BTW )
Thanks again,

If I owned that coin, I'm pretty sure I'd never sell it.
From this purchase/investment, I subsequently traded for $1000 in coins just 2.5 months later from a dealer.
I have since broke even (I'm actually up some $300) on my initial $405.50, plus I have three earlier MS type coins along with that.
I initially bought the coin for investment/trading purposes in order to see how much I could grow my money in the shortest time possible.
As for my collection, the most I've ever spent was $380 on an 1865 2-cent piece in MS-65RD; a gorgeous coin.

Looks like you were gonna overpay by the .44 so HRH woke ya up to save ya from yerself.
It's my oft labeled "Proletariat/Boshevist" lynch mob. They love seeing the coins in shows but don't BUY one and post it!
181K...not as much as ol'd Sunnywood paid.
Funny thing is, there are dates in that series that are more scarce, and sell for a fraction of the price, in certain grades. This is one reason I will probably never buy a 1901-s. I'm not going to pay that price just for the sake of getting an example.. that coin is the most overvalued coin of the barber quarter series and I simply won't pay those prices for it.
My PCGS AU 55 - 1901-S Quarter was the most expensive coin I've purchased.
$42.5K...and to think the same coin was offered to me a couple of years ago for $29K
when it was in an NGC 55 holder - and I turned it down !

that coin may be getting even more expensive >>>
I misprinted, it is a 1936 PCGS PR 67 Brilliant (type 2) Proof Buff and actually the PCGS list price has come down since I bought it, it was at $5000. and now it's $4500.
Frankly I am rather particularly surprised that people that would not likely share how much their houses costs, or what their automobile cost, would share what their most expensive coin cost.
Actually, home sale prices are a matter of public record, and anyone can find the price or value of an automobile.

I dont mind. My house was 325K, I have 2003 Nissan Murano and I spent $85 on most expensive coin. Or was it 325K for the coin?? Not a chance!

I was standing with Sunnywood as he finished the transaction. I tell ya, the look on his face was "coin-Nirvana"....the epitome of what all this entire thing is about. I swear he was walking on air as we walked away. It's an absolutely STUNNING coin and it came from one of the classiest collectors in the country TO one of the classiest.
I was buzzed from the experience.
