Most of them
When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest....Abraham Lincoln
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.....Mark Twain
Probably a 1794 Dollar. I would not go for the highest graded one, just an honest circulated specimen.
One of the Gobrecht dollars in the upcoming installment of the Bass sale.
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
Id buy pcgs
Not a coin, but a set.
Several years ago (believe it was Legend) that had a spectacular 1915 set of commems, from the pair of $ 50's to the half.
Hammered for about $ 600K ; also included the original presentation case.
Just gorgeous !!
Hmmm, you could have your own coin minted.
I would buy 70000 lbs of bank rolled morgans
Hmmm !!!!! I believe I'd go after top pop 20th century sets. Lincolns, Buffalos, Mercurys, Roosies, Washingtons, WLH's. Challenge DLH and others for top registry spots. Think I'd have enough to put together a nice gold set or two.
I'd buy all the 1901-s quarters and melt everything damaged or without full rims, and turn it into a truly rare coin.
Tom Reynolds would have a very good day.
Monopoly on CSA issue seated halves.
Type collector, mainly into Seated. -formerly Ownerofawheatiehorde. Good BST transactions with: mirabela, OKCC, MICHAELDIXON, Gerard
PCGS proof 65 or higher Type 2 Liberty $20 gold and PCGS ms-65 1799 silver dollar
The highest graded 1955/1955 cent doubled die.
Maybe I'd get a few of these shipped to display in my new front yard.

Even with a billion bucks I cannot buy anymore coins as I would not be able to lift them.
The best 1792 Half Disme.
1933 $20 Gold Saint. Surely there has to be someone in power who could be persuaded.
The complete Gerald Forsythe Walking Liberty half collection.
And a Bruce Morelan caliber Seated liberty dollar set.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

@EliteCollection I think you have an offer!
It wouldn't be so much what I would buy, But who I could help.
I don't know if it's for sale, but I would, absolutely, hunt this down.

Two coins: The highest graded 1889 CC and the highest graded 1922 no D.
USAF (Ret.) 1985 - 2005. E-4B Aircraft Maintenance Crew Chief and Contracting Officer.
My current Registry sets:
✓ Everyman Mint State Carson City Morgan Dollars (1878 – 1893)
✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
Would just buy the shop and give most of the the coins away on this Forum
Would probably start here

Collector, occasional seller
Probably buy a 40,000 to 70,000 acre ranch in Montana. And a house next door the Comrade Renski in Hawaii that has a pool all ready installed
Martin
1909 Tibetan Srang in MS
I'd buy everything Morelan has and wants.

I would buy the King of Siam Proof Set if it ever became available. Beyond that a high grade $50 gold slug, a 1794 Dollar and up grades for most of my collection would be nice.
I remember Scrooge McDuck doing that with the 1916 quarter in a comic book.
Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
The winning ticket was sold in a very tiny market by skid row, that is about 15 miles as the crow flies from the 2 billion dollar Altadena winner.
For the right offer, I'm sure it would become available. That was also my first choice.

Fugio coinage and put a nice set together
With that kind of money, whatever strikes my fancy.

There are probably a few in hiding, but you'd have to know who to ask. Mite take some time to accumulate the cash.
Oh the possibilities. The stuff dreams are made of. I think I would work on a very nice complete type set consisting of high grade key date coins.

Purchasing MS70's of every coin since 1792. Oh they exist alright...that billion will dig them up somehow

I would buy the 1870-s half dime, 1870-s $3, 1873-cc NA dime, and 1873-cc NA quarters, and melt them so people could actually have complete registry sets.
This may sound foolish to some, but if allowed I would hire someone to sell the ticket for say $150 million and after taxes I would still have way more money than I would ever need. I might buy a mint state 1893-S 1889-CC or proof 1895 Morgan. Maybe buy a $25K coin and have a give away.
All the 1895 proof morgans.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
i would donate to orphanages everywhere and keep 1 mil for myself 1mil for son and 1mil for sister
I'd buy no coins, house, boat, etc. Rather, we'd setup a non-profit foundation and help those in need. No need to waste it.
then buy an 1884s ms 67 or 68 morgan dollar. condition , condition , condition
Probably a gold PanPac octagonal.... The rest for family and certain charitable causes. Cheers, RickO
