My most expensive that I can recall right now is my 1983 Proof Mexican Silver Libertad. I spent $300 for it, sent it off to ANACS and it came back a PF67 DCam with a Doubled Die Obverse ( Doubled Date ), so I think I got a pretty good deal. It's funny, the 1983 Libertad actually cost me more than my Pan-Pac $2.50, though admittedly the Pan-Pac is Ex jewlery
Rest in Peace

Have had many throughout the years but I guess right now is a 1921 Morgan Proof Like. Very near a DMPL. Not real rare but we all know of the Mint State atrocities in the 1921 Morgan series. Dies were used extensively and I haven't seen, in my lifetime, too many real nice speciments. There are some ... but, with the high mintages of this year you would think LOTS of nice examples exist.

Course I could be looking in the wrong places.

Also have a MS67 Double Die Obverse Stone Mountain half that isn't too easy to find in higher grades.

Piece to all ...

I received mine today - 60th birthday present. It's a 1908 P Double Eagle.

Doing the math, when I'm 120, I'll likely get another.

Had to make sure my wife was not around to post , mine would be 1921 5 cent Canadian in vf at 1200.00 US , followed by a 1948 CDN 1 $.
Then there are the 5,10,25 cent 1875 series totalling around 1500.00 for the 3 pieces.I did extremely well on the 5 cent the rest at about 70% of trends .

My most expensive coin is a 1931-S Lincoln Cent. My most valuable coin is my 1922 no D. (inherited, thank the lord. My grandmother found this in the '50s!)

It would have to be my 1964 Peace dollar I paid 2 million for about 2 years ago..lol j/king Even if I had one do you think I would talk about it
Its probably my most recent purchase 1905 Philly liberty $20 MS61 I paid more than it would cost at auction but I have been looking for it forever It actually looks like the high end of 61 to me. NGC might grade it a 62.

Well I almost had a new highest. I bid on a large cent in Stack's sale yesterday, $1100. And at the end of the bidding for the lot it was knocked down at $1100, but I didn't know if I got it or a floor bidder. Then five hours later suddenly the hammer price jumped to $2300. (A completely ridiculous price.) So I guess I didn't get it.

I paid 1,000usd for a 4 quartos copper Spanish Philippine 1835 coin and it was cheap for its condition. Silver and gold countermarked coins I paid higher but that is top secret, as I dont even want to know how much I paid for it. :)
