Quote: Wow looking at all these amazing coins makes my little collection insignificant. Most all of us started out with "insignificant" collections so don't let that bother you. To a large extent my collection is still "insignificant" but is is impressive compared to what I started with. But 40 plus years of active collecting will do that, plus the increase in income over that time has allowed me to buy more and more expensive coins. I still don't have much of an income, and my collection isn't high grade, but it is extensive with some truly scarce or rare pieces. Just takes time and effort.

@Conder that is true. Someday I would hope to be able to expand my collection! I am happy with searching through bank rolls and keeping what is nice and if that is what I have to do for now, so be it. :)

Hmmm.. I'm not sure of my "most" valuable... But gold not included I'd say this one is up there.. Definitely one of my favorites. & Many of you have seen it repeatedly already ... Lol. But here ya go.. 1853/4 Seated quarter EF-45. Books place it lower than real world pricing (backwards from usual huh?) but I'd say right around $1200.

Went to the Whitman show in Baltimore today. Bought a coin whose cost tied with my 1907 St Gaudens on page 3 (above). No picture yet but it's a 1793 Wreath/Lettered Edge One Cent in NGC VF-30 BR.
Actually the 1907 St Gaudens is probably worth more since I've had it long enough that it should have increased in value. At least that's what the greysheet indicates.

I sold the 1899-O Dime, so a 1865 1C RPD FS-303 S-3 (FS-007.5) PCGS MS63RB moves up to the top of my list;

I guess my most valuable is a tie between a 1877 G-4 Indian Head I needed for my set and the 1909 S VDB I needed for my set of Lincolns. I am missing 3 IH's (1869/69, 1872 and 1875) and 2 Lincolns (1914-D and 1922 plain) Each of those coins costs $725 - $750. My sets tend to be in the "average circulated" range. My newest project is a Dansco 7070 album of which I have 10/86 coins I need LOL...and will exceed that $750 for sure.
