Tiffibunny Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 What is the highest you have ever paid for one single coin? (Pics are welcome). My highest coin came with a $470 pricetag, and it's not even going to be mine. It's a GIFT!!! I think my 2nd highest is around $140. Doesn't matter if it cost $.05 or $5,000. I'm just curious to see what people's limits are. Mine used to be $100 dollars and that didn't happen very often. In reality it was the $20-$30 range. Now I've broken all my limits more than once.

daggit Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 "Holey moley" Tiff, I am cheap cheap cheap. Most I have paid is about 5.00. Would have been 33.00 but the deal fell through because of "postal problems". How can I find a spot on your gift list, maybe we are related way, way back. You know ancestors from perhaps cave days or........ Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Dear daggit, it is not important that your most expensive coin is $5. I never used to pay more than $50 for anything. Like I said, this one was a gift. My Mommy loves gold and I love my Mommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Well i don't usually list prices i've paid for things but since you specifically asked, then the most i've ever paid out would be $1800. (Which for me is a heck of alot, usually i try and stay well below the $1000 mark). Oh and Tiff... nice coin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Wow. I would say I would never spend that much but in the past I said I wouldn't spend over $100 and when I passed than I said nothing over $200-$300. And yeah, well I'm past that now....

Peter Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Against face value for a currency coin....as you guys call raw I paid 91,200 X face value....ouch.... . I don't really think too hard...if I see a coin I want and the funds are there I will go for it. I do bear in mind resale with the bigger boys....my wife trusts me. I've just pursuaded my mother to add $2000 of gold to her assets rather than plonk it in some bank paying 3%. She thinks she's getting Krugs or sov's I wonder how she will react to a nice James 1 Unite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Gold is an exceeding violiate "investment" material. It is a fact whether you want to deny it or not, that war and stablity that solely have to do a lot with the pricing of gold. And it is up to you to interpret if the war in Iraq is to end any sooner or later. But honestly, in my humble opinion, assuming that the war wouldn't last much longer, now is one of the difficult time to buy gold and stock it up. If you like, you can check this useful homepage, http://www.kitco.com and check under "charts & datas" and check all the historical chart. Of course, the pricing of gold is just a short 40 year history, but it has enough data to tell you how it is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tane Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 My most expensive coin is this: It cost allmost $200. It's not cleaned, rather it has nearly prooflike surfaces which aren't visible in the poor scan The situation is about to change a bit, i am buying a nice example of a Rouble 1899** right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Tiff, that's a stunning coin. My two most expensive coins are: It's now in a NGC MS-62 slab.

AuldFartte Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 If memory serves, I think it was about $450 for a US $20 Saint. My self-imposed "limit" is $500 ... but that's gonna change if I can find a NIIIIIICE Gothic Crown I believe the vast majority of my stuff falls into the "less than $50" category.

16d Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Not cash, but a trade. A '72 Dodge Charger, tricked to the max, for a PCGS MS60FB '16d Merc. The car has since been totaled, and the Merc. has appreciated $2700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 € 75 has been my highest price so far. Then a bunch of coins in the area around $20. The rest is (far) less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highest I have ever paid for a single note is $1,000, for a Greenland 100K note in crisp UNC, but this was only to sell. The highest I have ever paid for a note for my collection is $950 for a Swiss 1,000 Franken: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMcDoo Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Besides that I think it was $300-something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabone Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 This was my highest coming in at $238 USD: 1632 Austria Leopold Thaler but recently I took delivery of a 1765 Mexican 8 Reales, and that one is a bit more expensive.
