Not sure what I want next

I’m back and forth on what coin I want next. I have a small collection of around 30 coins. All key dates and a few major varieties and errors. I’m stuck on what I want next. I have it narrowed down to I think 4 coins. I will be spending around $1000 on it so the grades will vary depending on which one I choose. The choices are. 1877 Indian, 1942/1 Mercury, 1889 cc Morgan or 1921 Peace dollar. What do you think and why? Thanks!

Whatever you do don't buy a 1899 CC
Oops. Thanks

1877 IHC. Just find a nice one. Lots of the lower grade 1877's are not very nice. Find a nice smooth brown example.

If you’re undecided, wait until you see an affordable killer example of one of them (that calls out to you). Under the circumstances, there’s no good reason to limit your options ahead of time.

The hunt is half the fun- search for them all and wait until one calls your name!
I would pass on dollars right now and that’s my main collecting area.Prices too high these days,IMO.
I would go for the 42/1.
great coins have a way of showing up when you least expect it.
Interesting day dream for me. I'd be leaning towards the IHC. Good luck. Peace Roy

....and when you can least afford to buy it.

@Vetter... You have built a nice collection - special coins that you like. So, you have narrowed your choice for the next addition. Take your time, look at examples of the four. You will know it when you see it. Your collection, your decision. Cheers, RickO
Go for the Merc. Your budget will buy the best grade here.
Keep your options open. You'll know it when you see it.

@MFeld is absolutely right. If you have a "wish list" of only four coins, it's foolish to rule any of them out. Just wait until you find the next coin of the four that speaks to you and fits your budget. With such a short list there is no point in making yourself unhappy, and no need to limit yourself if a gorgeous 1921 comes along but you're focused on an 1877.
