I know there are some cachers that are really into the coins. I've heard stories of people paying over $100 for a single coin before. Now my curiosity made me wonder how many cachers will pay some crazy price just to get a coin or coins.

 

Please select a range unless you want to say the actual price.

 

$0.00 to $25

$25.01 to $50

$50.01 to $100

$100.01 to $150

$150.01 to $200

$200.01 to $300

$300.01 to $400

$400.01 to $500

Above $500

 

I paid about $51 for a "dark side of the cache" coin. Then I paid $47 for a 5th anniversary compass rose set.

I'll have to see about the "set" prices. I haven't bought very many sets yet. Maybe $40 for a set ? The most expensive single coin was the gold version of the Anthus Laptop that I bought on ebay for $47.10 plus shipping. lol

I (Jim) have never paid more than the issue price for any geocoin. I've gotten a few in trade, and gave away a little more value than the issue price was, for a particularly good coin. The largest set I've bought at once was the Ranger216 Christmas series a couple of years ago. That was seven coins; probably ran about $110 for two sets. Now Sharon (the other half of the team) has bought a few things on ebay, but never any outrageous price. I flat refuse to buy any geocoins on an auction site. We have lots of geocoins for trading, though :huh:

The most I ever paid -

 

$85 + $7 s+h on ebay for a GCC Sept. 2005 Red Selective Availability geocoin.

 

It was the only one of the GCC coins I didn't have.

 

Anyone else here have a complete up-to-date set of all the GCC coins?

 

:huh:

A quick rundown of what I've paid for coins :

 

$24 for Dark Side of the Cache

$16.50 for Medusa AE

$15 for 2007 Compass Rose

 

All the other coins Ive purchased have been $12 or less.

The cheapest Ive spent on a coin was $4.

 

And I have never bought a coin off of Ebay..

I'm trying to remember. I think close to $50 for a 2005 Delugly. I know I've bid up to $70 for the garmin Chicago, but never won one.

 

As far as sets, I can't quite recall. Probably around $50 for a set of 4 on an original vendor release.

I paid $120 for a single coin and the only set of coins I've ever bought was some 2005 Calgary coins, which only set me back about $12 for the three of 'em.

I had been wanting a mermaid for a while when I saw this one in someone's collection. I paid $45 for it, but haven't seen one since. Not sure if it's a limited edition or sample; either way I love it. It's sparkly! :)

I was bidding on that thing too... Last minute bidders tick me off. Now I shall try for the other one.

 

I don't mind the last minute bidders so much, its the ones that bid more than me that get my goat :)

 

$112 for a Antique Silver Crystal Fairy

Hmm. Just recently I paid $50 for a 2006 Dutch LE antique silver. I made trades to get both of my Delft Blauws, but I'm sure the total coin value I traded was over $100 each.

 

The most I've paid for a set was $71 for the da Vinci challenge set.

 

But just recently I dropped $458 at one time (plus shipping) for 23 coins. Boy did THAT blow my coin budget for that month!!! :)

Personally 57.00 was the most I ever paid. I saw a Moun10bike V1 go for over 2K on ebay a few years back.

And the irony is I'm pretty sure it was deactivated after the sale.

Before I knew better I paid $125 for a set of Caching in the Seasons that was still available from the owner for $40! Yup, felt like a total dork for it!!

 

I was once willing to pay $700 for bag of coins that included a Moun10bike v2 but was outbid, thank goodness! Now $10 is about the average I'm willing to pay for a coin, before s&h but will still trade multiple coins to get one hi valu.

I paid over 100 (not by much) for a coin at the GeocoinFest last october, it was part of the silent auction. It was the '08 Earth Turtle that was black and gold and there were 10 made. 2 went to the auction and others were being left around the event. For a set I paid above 500 for. There were 62 coins in total, the version 2 Geo-Jellies gold coins. 2 of each were made, one for the auction and the other went to each cacher who had made a bean. Both were for charity, and if not for that, than the most paid for a coin would probably be about $15 including shipping, and for a set probably around $45.

I can think of 5 occasions of $100 or more and 2 of $200 or more for single coins. We have bought multiple coin collections for more than that, but this is just for single coins, and yes some were for charitable causes.

Not me... but someone just dropped 227 on a special edition 5th Anniversary Compass Rose production sample on Ebay.

 

The other one just sold for $236. I'm suprised it went higher than the spice island one.

I'm surprised it went for higher than the Spice Island myself, though both are beautifuly done. The ad didn't mention how thick they were (guessing around 10mm) to allow room for the working compass. Most I've paid for coins? I think I paid $250 or $300 for a Compass Rose Sample one time and over $100 for a Yemon Yime version. Also paid just over $100 for a 2005 Compass Rose.
