Being "south of the border" my vote might not count:
I have a PLS in my Birth Year Set, but the most expensive Canadian so far is a 2000 Canadian Maple Leaf coin.

$100-$1000 is my comfort-zone when purchasing coins ... not too many of my coins have rung the over $1000 bell ...

Ummmmm, now paper-money => that is a far different story!

So far I'm trying to get a handle on what I have, so I have not purchased many over $100 coins. That said I did accidentally click BUY IT NOW on a 2006 1 cent MS-67 ICCS for $100. Long story short I had two browser tabs open, in a one was a no mint mark magnetic (which I meant to buy) and the regular in MS-67 and clicked the wrong one..... oops. I also have a standing order with a local dealer for a 1926 far 5 cent piece.

I fall into the $100-$499 category. I'll hold off voting until that gets added.

You left out an important one Glenn. Over $100, but under $500.

The most I've paid was 55$ for the 1858 20 cents and 45$ for 1899 25¢. I expect some time to spend a bit more to upgrade my coins or to fill up my holes which happens to be a bit more expensive specially with Victorian dimes and quarters and a few key dates like the 1925 nickel.

My 48 dollar put me firmly in the 500-1000 range. That's about as high as it will get for the Canada coins.

The last time glenzy asked this question, my answer was "exactly Can$100" with a Province of Canada 20 cents I bought here on the forum. But since then, I've bought a Canadian gold $5 and a Canadian sovereign, both of which were over Au$500.

You'll probably find that, now that you've posted in the thread, it won't allow you to vote.

You may still be able to vote if you log out & clean out your cookie jar.
