I would suggest reasking this in poll forum with different options. People will be more likely to respond in that manner than state it out right  |

Approximately $70*, for a relatively low grade (original post guessed is as Fine) 1818 Russian rouble. Fun fact: only for one other coin (1699 British 4 pence - circa $40) I've ever paid more than half that figure. *) Well, that's what my original post about it says; I remember it as $50 - which would still be highest - but I'd better trust a post likely made within a few hours of the actual purchase than the few details I still remember after over a year  Coincidentally, under current exchange rates, the original figure would be only $62 - I suppose the dollar was worth slightly less back then (June 1, 2011). |

A poll would be less obtrusive. In my possession at the present time on my 1917 Type II SLQ;  Although I have an 1871 Seated Liberty dollar (postpaid, so that about evens it up) on it's way;  Edited by oih82w8

The most I spent for a single coin would be when I bought my 1976 Olympic set. The 10$ coins were $37.50, which was a good deal when silver was high, and even now when silver is quite low, melt is still $44.
So the most I spent is $37.50. Not a lot, but the set I paid $750-$800 for is worth $1400.

I have three coins that I have spend $1000 apiece for, and one counterfeit PCGS rattler slab that I paid $1400 for. Yes I knew it was counterfeit, that's why I bought it.

Not necessarily needing to quote the price, just the coin. Good idea, that.

I hope there is no CCF penalty for those of us who have worked hard on paying for our own education, dedicating untold hours to professional growth, kept the nose to the grindstone over a long career ... and as a result have achieved some level of financial security? I was told by my Dad that is what we should do ... he described it as living the American Dream.  In that spirit ... I am fortunate to be in the position to have the freedom to acquire some nice coins for my collection ... Without going into specifics ... I have purchased and currently own several (more than one) coins valued above $5K ... The following thread shows me releasing a $2K coin for my Dansco album ... in this case a PCGS AU55 1885 Liberty nickel. https://goccf.com/t/96248I suggest to all that the 'value' of your coins should be a secondary consideration to your ability to contribute to the hobby and the personal joy gained from whatever you collect.

in your case nickelsearcher, I hope the value of the dollar doesn't go down so bad that the collectors value of coins arent worth anything but the content they are made of.
i have been thinking about that for the past few days that if the price of the dollar goes down so much that all my silver quarters will be worth nothing but the face value or worse, so I dont know if I should sell now or what
