Quote - btw, how expensive can a coin be? I am pretty sure they can be quite expensive, but just how much? So I know if I buy a new car, a new computer or a coin :lol:

It really depends on the coins rarity. Take for example the Eliasberg  (Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. the only one to own a complete collection of U.S coins) 1913 Liberty Nickel with a grade of Proof 66, which is one of the finest known of only five ever produced and four of these are accounted for, sold for $4.15 million dollars.

U.S. coins at the moment seem to carry the higher values. However, world and ancient coins are making a climb as well. That is because for so long world and ancient coin collecting, here in the states, was not popular. I like world and ancient coins over U.S. because of they carry far more history and tend to be more artistic in design. It’s really cool to hold an early Roman coin for if it could speak think of the tales it could tell.
