I think this coin is the most I've spent cash on:
1887 Seated Liberty Half Dollar  |

Holy cow Moe. Do you plan on sending it in for grading?
And you should drop me the links when you put your coins up for listing COTW. I'd be interested in seeing what you have to offer :]

It was previously graded. I just like coins in an album.   |

Nice coin Moe! One of my best coin collecting memories was finding a VF1889 in a shop. And I had the funds to buy it at the time.
Someone could start a thread on the ones that got away, which are just as memorable. That 1859S dollar, or the 1846C half eagle I stupidly sold. Sigh. Still regretted after all these years. That guy in Raleigh really wanted it.
But for sheer stupidity losing an 1856S half eagle was the worst. If you carry pocket coins make SURE the pockets don't have holes in them.
My only consolation was that someone else had a happy day.

YES! This morning I broke my record by a few cents . Just bought this beauty that I've had my eye on for a while now. Took so long to save up. I private messaged the seller and managed to convince her to send me an offer of a whole $5 less than the original price! But hey, 1% off is better than 0% off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-COLOR-...297053479010Shows up as unsold since I accepted the private offer and she closed the listing. I'll upload in hand pictures soon hopefully.  |

Nice coins everybody. Congrats on getting so close to another coin for your 7070 jbuck! The most I have ever spent on a coin is this one. It is one of two gold coins I have bought for the gold page. I am less than half way done with the album and have been working on it for years and years. Edited to add it's a $50 one ounce  Edited by Coinfusion
