Could you find a "coin a day" every day that you would like enough to keep admiring over and over again (but not just because it was free)?

The CONDITION is....that it MUST be listed on a site (either eBay or private) for .... under $300
Well, could ya?

    With the endless supply of newly discovered Doubled Dies and various varieties and errors being discovered all the time :o it would be very easy. ;)

    Load up on $299 coins, sell them, put the cash in a high yield mutual fund and admire the free cash every day..

    Edited: Never mind; I see you said no sales were allowed. :/

    This poll thing is harder than it looks.

    A nice gold half sovereign would fill the need nicely!

    Strange poll, but yes I could. Lots of choices out there.

    Sure. Why not? :)

    Oh yeah..without a doubt.

  • TommyTypeTommyType Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know.....

    After a month or two of this, I'm thinking I would have filled any "holes" I have, acquired any upgrades I desire, and socked away any random things that just caught my attention. At that point, it might become a chore to have to "pick something" every day!

    I'd have to start a new series just to suck up all of these FREE coins!

    Come to think of it....sign me up. ;)

    Silver isn't my friend. :#

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    No problem! It would be more fun if the limit was raised to $500. :)

  • Desert MoonDesert Moon Posts: 5,971 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think there is a saturation point where it would then become passe, for me a coin a day would be it for sure unless I was selling as quickly as I was getting them.

    I would have trouble finding that many coins that I like.

    A coin a day for 10 years would be 3652 coins. That's nothing. I'm sure it would get boring after 30 or 40 years, though. At some point I'm sure it would reach a point in which any appealing coin becomes the free daily coin.

    For how long?

    If it were a surprise every day, it would probably keep my interest longer.

    I see coins every day that I would like to own.... Not a problem. Cheers, RickO
