Most was for a 2007 Gold Buffalo.

Least would be face value for Australian circulating coins from my Aussie friends.

Least: A handful of BU Red Lincoln Memorial cents that probably averaged $0.10 each. My dealer cut me a break since I did the work of cherry picking through his cent roles. If he does the work of cherry picking, putting them in the flips and on display then the price goes up. Works for me :)

Most was $150 each for a Type I gold dollar and a $5 1886-S gold piece. My dad got those for me almost 10 years ago, thats for US coins. I still remember my mom getting mad for those purchases, well since then it appreciated okay.

Most I spent on recently and ever for a coin was $140 for a gold half sovereign.

1982 Krugerrand when my son was born I think at that time it was about $850.00 plus I had customs tax too.
and I was still in the Army that was a lot to us we just had a new baby & all the baby stuff we needed. my wife was not happy but now we look back and say that's one coin that will never get sold unless my son sells it.


My cheap buy that turn in to a VF-30 1916-D Mercury I payed $35-$45.00 for it the locket was not open in the back with sweat on my brow not trying to damage it and hoping it was a 1916-S a 16-D never crossed my mind, the obverse was Great.

I about died when I seen it was a 1916-D. It was one of the best feeling I ever had in 50 yr of coin collecting.

@look in my CCF Image Gallery it posted there

My most is $51 for a VF 1851 1/2c. My least is so hard to come up with as I've gotten so many from circulation over the years and have gotten free "bonuses" when making coin purchases.

I think the most Ive ever spent was in the 30-40 range. I believe it was for a 1857 Flying IHC.

The cheapest coin Ive bought was probably some AG ICH for .25-.50 or something.

I did pull a "no-date" coin from a dealers junk box once. IHC, of course (I'm a bit obsessed). Turned out to be an 1866 with a sharp eye. Not bad for .25$!
