If You Had a $10K "Coin Coupon"..what would you buy?

[jackson64]

Ok, my first time posting a new thread.....The question is; If you had a $10,000 coupon that could only be spent on coins, what would you buy?

 

I am interested in whether people would buy a single coin that they always wanted, fill several holes in sets, or start a completely new set that they always wanted to pursue....

 

I would either just spend it all on the nicest Flowing Hair Half Dollar I could find for $10K...or

 

Maybe a nice 1911-D gold Quarter Eagle Indian in AU+ and an 1877 3-cent nickel {if I could find one}

[cpm9ball]

I'd get a nice 1879-CC Morgan in MS64 and a 1995-W SAE.

I would buy a couple new, and replace a few Lincolns-such as 1909Svdb, 1909S, 1911S, 1912S, 1914D all MS64 red-so who's giving me the $10K. I want my coupon NOW! Your not going to give it to me, are you?

[SkyMan]

Draped Bust Heraldic Eagle dime in something like an MS63.

[MBA101]

A nice thick skinned Early Dollar in VF-AU condition somewhere in the 1795-1803 range.

I'm a set-hole-filler. There are some obscure coins I'm looking for that I haven't found yet, not because of price, but because of true scarcity.

 

Aside from those, I would get a circulation-strike 1935 NZ Waitangi crown, 1876 Newfoundland 20 cent piece in AU or so, 1876 half eagle in VF, and 1876 eagle in VF.

[123cents]

The nicest and highest grade 1815/2 Capped Bust Half for that money.

[Dwaine]

I would try to fill out some of my older coins needed for my 7070 type set or to get a nice 1870 proof half dollar or proof dollar.

[MunkyMan95]

A down payment on a 1907 High Relief $20 in choice MS64.

[carson city]

Gold American Eagles

[MikeInFL]

An early type coin or two, and the rest in Krugerrands...Mike

[ibyandsellsmith]

I've had 10g's to spend on coins, and I bought a bunch of and lost my .

If, however it was free money and I had a choice. I would buy high grade, key dates after, of course, I bought an AU three legged Buffalo, certified by NGC.

[rons]

I would buy an 1892 proof 65 Morgan dollar to complete the birth year set of my grandfather and spend the rest on a 1897 birth year set for my grandma. They were the best

[James_OldeTowne]

I would fill several holes - actually many holes - in my sets. That kind of money would buy a good number of Standing Liberty quarters, Liberty nickels or R/B Two Cent coins.

[Mirrored Morgan]

All the "PQ" NGC and PCGS MS63 Saints I could find.

[MikeKing]

4, or 5, or maybe even 8 or 9, completely original and eye appealing capped bust halves.

[hoard]

I would try to find an 1836 plain edge AU Gobrecht dollar. Original and sort of crusty with just enough luster underneath to make you say, wow great coin.

[stinkycheese1]

I would buy 20 saint gaudens high relief double eagles.

Re: If You Had a $10K+ "Coin Coupon"..what would you buy?

 

a great original undipped almost unc. 1794 half dime

a really choice xf+ original non cleaned and dipped on a non clipped full weight completely centered planchet 1652 small flan pine tree shilling as these are rare to non existant in almost unc. and higher condition

 

or

 

a killer gem business strike 1858 small letters flyer cameo prooflike again a business strike struck from proof dies

 

or

 

a choice uncirculated original skinned prooflike better date 1835 classic head quarter eagle

 

 

[Revenant]

At least 1 really nice looking double eagle with some eagles, half eagles and quarter eages, and finish off my MS69 SAE collection.

[McKinley-migration]

93S F/VF morgan, and a high end '14D linc

 

or maybe just a '56 flyer

 

perhaps a decent chain cent

 

a '16 stlq?

 

 

the 3 big barber q's?

 

the last half of the 3 cent silver series?

 

buncha saints?

 

..a bag of 90% wouldn't hurt either (hopefully)

 

 

i'm a set guy/hole filler as well... i'd most likely fill some holes

 

 

 

 

it's 2am, i should be sleeping instead of dreaming?

[notabene-migration]

I think I would go with a MS60 / MS61 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar as without such a coin coupon I'm unlikely to ever own this key date. I could get a low grade one, I suppose, but the Walking Liberty Half is probably my favorite series and I do not like how they wear. The lower grades look worse to me than lower grades in lots of other coins, so for this series I'd only ever be satisfied with an MS coin. If this link works, here's one that went for under 10k that I'd be glad to own:

 

[jackson64]

This one "only" cost $8700 but if I had a free $10K coupon they could keep the change.....

[chinook]

I would buy a bag of 1909 Lincoln cents for 10K. Then sell it late next year for 20K.
