What's the most expensive coin you bought. How much did you pay. I bought morgan 1880 S for 30$, so far that's the most expensive one.

Mine would be an '09-S VDB Lincoln Cent graded by PCGS at AU55. Paid $1375. |

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Seriously, a 1916 Standing Lib quarter, VG-10 (PCGS).
Paid? A ton of bucks. messed up my coin budget for a while.

the most expensive coin I have bought was the 1812 Large Cent in my 7070 album, it was graded by PCGS as AU-58 and I paid like $4500.00 for it. The most expensive coin I own is the 1907 High Relief Wire Edge St. Gaudens graded MS-64 by NGC that my grandfather gave me and it stays in the safe deposit box that he had it in when he died

I've got a couple of Chain cents that I paid $1,000 each for. But my most expensive purchase was a counterfeit PCGS slab that I paid $1,400 for.

1811 Classic Head Large Cent. I paid $900, about double what I had previously paid for a single coin.  |

As of now only $230 for PCI graded MS64 RB 1931-S Lincoln. But, I have many coins in the $100-$200 range, and I am looking to make some larger purchases in the coming months to add some of the more elusive lincolns to my collection (i.e. '09S, '21S in MS64).  |

Not my most expesive, but most recently bought a 1909S XF for $75 at a local coin club auction. I was happy to say the least.

I'm sure BadThad would agree. Any 09-S is a good coin!

Hey AuldFartte, that is one beautiful Classic Head Large Cent. That was a nice acquisition, great color and not the usual funky porous planchet.
My most expensive (meaning the most I paid) would be a 1879CC GSA dollar
My most valuable (money wise) would be my 1800 Draped bust dollar, AU50(raw) purchased 10 years ago from a friend who needed money to move.
My most precious would be (circa 1715) undated Spanish Cob 8 reales that I brought up off a 1715 spanish ship wreck. That day was coin collecting at it's best!

My most expensive coin was the FIRST coin I ever bought, because I have not quit buying ever since  I wonder how much I have spent on my collection....and where I would have spent that same money if it hadn't been spent on coins. |
